An infinite length line of charge, L, is placed along the z-axis. We wish to find E at an arbitrary point P(, , z).
Redrawn problem in the r – z plane with field components for a charge element dQ as indicated.
Adding the field components for a second charge element dQ above the radial axis
Sketch to show where all the components come from to set up the integral.
The point P is shown h above a current sheet of infinite extent occupying the x – y plane..
Infinite sheet of charge broken up into a continuous series of lines of charge.
E is sought at point h on the z-axis from a ring of charge centered on the x – y plane.
dE components from a pair of charge segments dL on opposite sides of the ring.
