5- Field of a Line Charge Let us assume a straight line charge extending a long z-axis in cylindrical coordinate system from - ∞ to ∞ as shown in Fig. 4.1. We desire the electric field intensity E at any and every point resulting from a uniform line charge density ρL .
Figure 4.1
Symmetry should be always considered first in order to determine two specific factors:
With which coordinates the field does not vary. Which components of the field are not present.
Now, which components are present? Each incremental length of line charge acts as a point charge and produces an incremental contribution to the electric field intensity which is directed away from the bit of charge. No element of charge produce as Ф component of electric intensity, ( EФ is zero). However, each element does produce an Er and Ez component, but the contribution to Ez by elements of charge which are equal distance above and below the point at which we are determining the field will cancel. We therefore have found that we have only an ( Eρ )component and it is varies only with (r), now to find this component: We choose a point P(0, y,0) on the y-axis at which to determine the field. This is a perfectly general point in view of the lack of variation of the field with Ф and z we have:

6- Field of a Sheet Charge Another basic charge configuration is the infinite sheet of charge having a uniform 2 density of ρS C/m . Let us place a sheet of charge in y-z plane and again consider symmetry as shown in Fig. 4.3. We see first that the field cannot vary with y or with z. Hence only E x is present, and this component is a function of(x) alone. Let us use the field of the infinite line charge by dividing infinite sheet into differential-width strips. Once such strip is shown in Fig. 4.3, the line charge density, or charge per unit length, is ( ρL = ρS d y', and the distance from this line charge to our general point P on the x-axis is 2 2 R=√ x + y' .
