A conducting bar with linear charge density, is placed horizontally on the x - axis. The bar has two ends, the FIRST end is located at x = xo and the second one at x = xo + L (so the length of the bar is "L" The field point is on the y-axis a distance "y" above the origin
Draw a picture of the charge distribution, coordinate system, and field point. Include charge element and distance "r" to the point as a function of x and y. Remember that y is a CONSTANT.
Write the 'explicit' integral expression for the x-component of the E-field at the field point, and the y-component
