Electric field due to line charge

    This is the illustration diagram for the calculation of electric field due to line charge at point P.

    Let us consider a charge is uniformly distributed along the line of length 2l.

    The distance between the point ‘O’ to point ‘P’ is x.

    The electric field at point P due to small length dl is dE. And the small length dl have charge dq.
