The question is missing some parts. Here is the complete question.

A finite rod of length L has a total charge q, distributed uniformly along its length. The rod lies on the x-axis and is centered at the origin. Thus one endpoint is located at (L/2) and the other is located at (L/2). Define the electrical potential to be zero at an infinite distance away from the rod. Throughout this problem, you may use the constant k in place of the expression 1 / $4\pi\epsilon_{0}$

Part A (image 1): What is VA, the electric potential at point A (see figure below), is located a distance d above the midpoint of the rod on the y-axis? Express your answer in terms of L, d, q and k.

Part B (image 2): What is VB, the electric potential at point B, located at distance d form one end of the rod (on the x-axis)? give your answer in terms of L, d, q and k.

Part A: $V = \frac{kq}{L}[ln(\frac{L/2+\sqrt{(L/2)^{2}+y^{2}} }{-L/2+\sqrt{(-L/2)^{2}+y^{2}} }) ]$

Part B: $V=\frac{kq}{L} ln(\frac{L}{d} )$

Explanation: Electric Potential (V) is the amount of work done per unit charge to move a charge from point A to B.

For a finite rod with charge uniformly distributed along its length

$V=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}} \int\ {\frac{\lambda}{r} } \,dl$

where

λ is charge density and, in this case, is constant: $\lambda=\frac{q}{L}$

dl is differential of the rod

r is the distance the point is from the rod

Part A: $r = \sqrt{(a^{2}+y^{2})}$

$V=k \int\ {\frac{\lambda}{\sqrt{(a^{2}+y^{2})}} } \,da$

$V=k\lambda \int\ {\frac{1}{{\sqrt{(a^{2}+y^{2})}}} } } \,da$

$V=\frac{kq}{L}\int\limits^\frac{L}{2} _\frac{-L}{2} {\frac{1}{\sqrt{(a^{2}+y^{2})} } } \, da$

$V=\frac{kq}{L}ln(\frac{L/2+\sqrt{(L/2)^{2}+y^{2}} }{-L/2+\sqrt{(-L/2)^{2}+y^{2}} } )$

At a point located at y-axis, electric potential is $V=\frac{kq}{L}ln(\frac{L/2+\sqrt{(L/2)^{2}+y^{2}} }{-L/2+\sqrt{(-L/2)^{2}+y^{2}} } )$

Part B: r = x

$V=k \int\limits^L_d {\frac{\lambda}{x} } \, dx$

$V=k \frac{q}{L} \int\limits^L_d {\frac{1}{x} } \, dx$

$V=k \frac{q}{L} ln(L - d)$

$V= \frac{kq}{L} ln(\frac{L}{d} )$

At a point d from one end, electric potential is $V= \frac{kq}{L} ln(\frac{L}{d} )$

Answer from: Quest

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice

c. a compressed spring

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice is the correct option.

You have been consulted by the mobile phone company hookup about a new augmented reality product called “brows”. they want to develop an alternative to google glasses, which, you recall, is a proposed new product which plans to superimpose a whole range of wireless google services over the user’s ordinary vision of the world. these appear in little circles and ovals, and let you phone people, take photographs, navigate across cities and inside buildings, find shops and update your social media. brows would do this too, but not be limited to special google services. the user would wear a small cylinder-shaped device designed to fit on top of their existing eyewear (glasses or sunglasses). it would project a reversed image onto the inside of the lenses, the reflection of which would be in focus for the user. instead of voice control, the user would control the device by eye and neck movements, which the device would track. the device would connect via bluetooth to the user’s phone, which would supply most of the computing power and wireless connectivity. hookup also wants to know what existing services would be most in demand, and which would not work well with brows. using your knowledge of augmented reality, wearable technology and interface design, is the project feasible? if not, why not? if feasible, how could the product need to be modified for a better experience?
