Consider a right triangle ABC with the right triangle at vertex B. The charges at A, at B, and at C, are known to be 5 mC, 4 mC, and 7 mC, respectively. Given that the side AB is numerically equal to 31, in meters, and AC is thrice AB, find the magnitudes of the force and of the electric field at B.

Would be able to help me answer this please? Consider a straight, non-conducting rod of length L that is charged such that its charge density increases linearly from zero at one end to a maximum λₒ at the other. Derive an expression for the total charge on the conductor in terms of L and λₒ. I know that the total charge density is equal to αx (α being a constant and x being a small amount of L), and that dq=λdx and that you integrate, but how am I meant to get it in terms of λₒ and L ???
