Question:
The direct integration procedure also yields an expression for a rod of finite length (see Example 23.4). Can you use Gauss's law to derive this expression as well? Why or why not?
Data from Example 23.4
A thin rod of length \(\ell\) carries a uniformly distributed charge \(q\). What is the electric field at a point \(\mathrm{P}\) along a line that is perpendicular to the long axis of the rod and passes through the rod's midpoint?
