An infinitesimally thin, uniformly charged wire with longitudinal charge density A is given the shape of a rectangle with sides L and 2L. If the origin of coordinates is at the center of the rectangle, calculate the intensity vector of the electric field at a point on its coordinate axis (0, 5L, 0). How much will the field in the center of the rectangle be worth?

An infinitesimally thin, uniformly charged wire with
longitudinal charge density λ is given the shape of
a rectangle with sides L and 2L. If the origin of
coordinates is at the center of the rectangle,
calculate the intensity vector of the electric field at
a point on its coordinate axis (0, 5L, 0). How much
will the field in the center of the rectangle be
worth?
