Answer:
The electric field at origin is 3600 N/C
Solution:
As per the question:
Charge density of rod 1,
Charge density of rod 2,
Now,
To calculate the electric field at origin:
We know that the electric field due to a long rod is given by:
Also,
(1)
where
K = electrostatic constant =
R = Distance
= linear charge density
Now,
In case, the charge is positive, the electric field is away from the rod and towards it if the charge is negative.
At x = - 1 cm = - 0.01 m:
Using eqn (1):
(towards)
Now, at x = 1 cm = 0.01 m :
Using eqn (1):
(towards)
Now, the total field at the origin is the sum of both the fields:
