An infinitely long line of charge has a linear charge density λ, in units of C/m.
(a) (3 pts.) Describe the shape Gaussian surface you would use for this charge configuration and the electric flux for this surface. Do all of the parts of this Gaussian surface have a nonzero electric flux? Explain.
(b) (3 pts.) Derive an expression for the electric field in terms of the linear charge density λ.
(c) (4 pts.) Briefly show how you would find the electric potential at a radius r from the line charge. Start by writing the entire expression in general, then applying the specific expressions for this situation. (You do not need to solve this expression!) Where is the reference point for the electric potential? Explain your reasoning.
