1) Uniform positive line charge is distributed along the x-axis from x = 0 to x = a. a) Calculate the r- and y-components of the electric field produced by the line charge disctribuion along the positive x-axis, where r > a. b) Calculate the force a point charge q would experience if placed on a location on the positive x-axis at r = a+r. c) Show that ifr >> a, the magnitude of the force is approximately Qq/4T€gr2.
