tial everywhere i.e. inside and outside. Draw a potential vs r graph.

Consider a very long rod, radius R and charged to a uniform linear charge density X.
• Calculate the electric field everywhere outside this rod (i.e. find Ē(r)).
• Calculate the electric potential everywhere outside, where the potential is defined to be zero
at a radius (i.e. V(Ro) = 0).
