Let us situate this on the x axis, and let our uniform line of charge be positioned on the interval <span>(−L,0]</span> for some large number L. The voltage V as a function of x on the interval <span>(0,∞)</span> is given by integrating the contributions from each bit of charge. Let the charge density be λ. Thus, for an infinitesimal length element <span>d<span>x′</span></span>, we have <span>λ=<span><span>dq</span><span>d<span>x′</span></span></span></span>.<span>V(x)=<span>1/<span>4π<span>ϵ0</span></span></span><span>∫line</span><span><span>dq/</span>r</span>=<span>λ/<span>4π<span>ϵ0</span></span></span><span>∫<span>−L</span>0</span><span><span>d<span>x/</span></span><span>x−<span>x′</span></span></span>=<span>λ/<span>4π<span>ϵ0</span></span></span><span>(ln|x+L|−ln|x|)</span></span>
Answer:
The slope intercept form is probably the most frequently used way to express equation of a line. To be able to use slope intercept form, all that you need to be able to do is 1) find the slope of a line and 2) find the y-intercept of a line.
