Conductors in Electrostatic Equilibrium
A long, straight metal rod has a radius of $$5.00 cm$$ and a charge per unit length of $$30.0 nC/m$$. Find the electric field (a) $$3.00 cm$$, (b) $$10.0 cm$$, and (c) $$100 cm$$ from the axis of the rod, where distances are measured perpendicular to the rods axis.
