A charged line extends from y = 2.50 cm to y = 2.50 cm. The total charge distributed uniformly along the line?

Question

A charged line extends from y = 2.50 cm to y = 2.50 cm. The total charge distributed uniformly along the line is 9.00 nC.

A) Find the magnitude of the electric field on the x-axis at x = 0.25 cm.

B) What is the direction of the electric field on the x-axis at x = 0.25 cm?

C) Is the magnitude of the electric field you calculated in part (a) larger or smaller than the electric field 0.25 cm from an infinite line of charge that has the same charge per unit length as this finite line of charge?
