Gauss's Law problem: An infinite, uniform, line of charge is on the x-axis.  The linear charge density is (lambda), with units of C/m.  Find an expression for the electric field at a particular y-value on the y-axis at x=0, using Gauss's Law.  Do this problem as if (lambda) is positive -- the answer is valid regardless of the sign.   Suppose you moved the problem left or right, or rotated the problem about the x-axis.  How does the problem change?

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.
