Semi-infinite Charged Cylinder

The picture above shows a semi-infinite solid cylinder of radius r. The cylinder has uniform distribution of charge with density ρ. Determine the x component of electrical field at point A!

(Hint: If you find a trick, it only needs a simple partial integral)

  1. I think this is the best problems among the others. A little tricky.

  3. charge density * radius/pi/permittivity of free space
