A Long, Thin Rod Parallel to the Y-Axis Is Located

Question 1

Multiple Choice

A long, thin rod parallel to the y-axis is located at x = -1.0 cm and carries a uniform linear charge density of +1.0 nC/m. A second long, thin rod parallel to the z-axis is located at x = +1.0 cm and carries a uniform linear charge density of -1.0 nC/m. What is the net electric field due to these rods at the origin? (ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2)
