Hello,
Can not Gauss's Law be used to calculate the electric field generated by a uniformly charged finite thread?
I suppose it is because I can not consider the electric field constant (always going to the same direction), and for this I would have to do it by parts (the lateral flow, and the flow of the cylinder caps) as if they were two independent geometric objects, which makes it not a closed surface. true?
