2. a) Calculate the potential of inhomogeneously charged finite rod of length
2a with (y) K|y|, where K is a positive real constant.
For this goal, you
have to adapt the following integral to this problem:
=
kdq
V =
r
Notice that dq = Ads = X(y')dy' here (y') is a function of the position, and r
is given in the picture. A final remark, remember the absolute value function:
= y for positive y, and y| = -y for negative y. This will help you during
y'-integration over the interval [-a,+a].
b) If you found V(x), then calculate the electric field from the relation
E(x)=-dV/dx.
c) Plot both functions V(x) and E(x) only for positive x.
