Can anyone help me with a solution to this problem?
A long thin cylidrical glass rod, length L, is insulated from its surroundings and has an excess charge of Q uniformly distributed along its length. Assume electric potential to be zero at infinity and k is the constant in Coloumbs law. The electric potential at point P along the axis of the rod and a distance L from one end is CkQ/L, where C is a constant. Find the value of C.
