Problem 55P
Suppose an electric field E(x, y, z) has the form
E x = ax, Ey = 0, Ez = 0
where a is a constant. What is the charge density? How do you account for the fact that the field points in a particular direction, when the charge density is uniform? [This is a more subtle problem than it looks, and worthy of careful thought.]

Problem 55P
Suppose an electric field E(x, y, z) has the form
E x = ax, Ey = 0, Ez = 0

ANSWER:
Solution 55P
Step 1 of 3:
In this question, we need to define charge density for the given electric field, and also explain how to account for field points in a particular direction when the charge density is uniform
