Define a coordinate system along the axis of the rod with the origin at the center of the rod as shown.
\
Divide the rod into small pieces of charge of length
at the location
on the rod.
Electric field strength at a point due to a piece of rod of charge
is
.
Where is the positon vector of point
.
Position vector .
As the electric field is having only component and there is no
components.
Substitute and solve electric field for only
component.
Therefore
\Here Charge is positive and is in
direction.
As the rod is uniformly charged, charge of piece divide by its length is same as the total charge divide by total length of the rod.
\That is .
By super position theorem, Net field strength at point is summation of field strength due to each piece of rod, which can be found by integrating
under the limits
and
.
\
Consider the point is very far away from the rod, then rod length is neglizible
That is .
Thus,
\
