Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

Determine the magnitude of the electric field at any point P a distance x from a very long line (a wire, say) of
uniformly distributed charge. Assume x is much smaller than the length of the wire L, and let A be the charge per
unit length (C/m).
