The charge per unit length on the thin rod shown below is $λ.λ.$ What is the electric force on the point charge q? Solve this problem by first considering the electric force $dF→dF→$ on q due to a small segment $dxdx$ of the rod, which contains charge $λdx.λdx.$ Then, find the net force by integrating $dF→dF→$ over the length of the rod.
