• 24-9 Potential due to a Continuous Charge Distribution

• V Due to a Line of Charge:

• (b) If λ is the charge per unit length, then the charge on length dx is:

• In Figure (a) A thin, uniformly charged rod produces an electric potential V at point P. (b) An element can be treated as a particle. (c) The potential at P due to the element depends on the distance r. We need to sum the potentials due to all the elements, from the left side (d) to the right side (e).
