Q.

A charge is distributed with a linear density λ, over a rod of the length L placed along radius vector drawn from the point where a point charge q is located. The distance between q and the nearest point on linear charge is R. The electrical force experienced by the linear charge due to q is

Detailed Solution

As coulomb's force is an action reaction pair, so force experienced by the linear charge is equal and opposite to the force experienced by point charge q. Here, we are computing electric force experienced by q due to the charge.

Question Image

Consider a small element on line charge as shown, then force experienced by q due to this element is,

dF=qλdr4πε0r2

By integrating both side, we get

F=RR+L qλdr4πε0r2=qλL4πε0RR+L
