Several point charges are located within a closed Gaussian surface, S, and several
point charges are located just outside of the Gaussian surface. The magnitude of
each charge is equal q and the number of positive and negatives charges in each of
the respective regions are shown below.

A thin rod lies on the z-axis with one end at - A and the other end at A, as shown in the diagram. A charge of Q is spread uniformly over
the surface of the rod. We want to set up an integral to find the electric field at location due to the rod. Following the
procedure discussed in the textbook, we have cut up the rod into small segments, each of which can be considered as a point charge. We
have selected a typical piece, shown in red on the diagram.
