Let's solve the problem step by step.

### Problem Analysis
We have:
- A charge \( q_0 = 1 \, \text{nC} \) (nanoCoulomb = \( 10^{-9} \, \text{C} \)) placed at a distance \( d = 5 \, \text{cm} = 0.05 \, \text{m} \) from the midpoint of a thin rod.
- The rod has a length \( L = 15 \, \text{cm} = 0.15 \, \text{m} \) and a linear charge density \( \lambda = 8 \, \text{nC/m} \).

### A. Finding the Electric Force on the Charge \( q_0 \)

#### 1. Setting up the differential charge element
The rod has a uniform charge density \( \lambda \), meaning that for an infinitesimal length \( dx \) of the rod, the charge is:
\[
dq = \lambda \, dx
\]

The force exerted by this charge element \( dq \) on \( q_0 \), located at a distance \( x \) from the center of the rod, will be:
\[
dF = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_0 \, dq}{r^2}
\]
where:
- \( r = \sqrt{x^2 + d^2} \) is the distance between the charge element and \( q_0 \),
- \( dq = \lambda \, dx \) is the charge of the infinitesimal rod element,
- \( \epsilon_0 = 8.854 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/(\text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2) \) is the permittivity of free space.

#### 2. Component of the force
Since the problem is symmetric, the horizontal components (along the x-axis) will cancel out, and only the vertical components (along the y-axis) will add up.

Thus, the vertical component of the infinitesimal force is:
\[
dF_y = dF \sin \theta = dF \frac{d}{r} = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_0 \, \lambda \, dx}{r^2} \frac{d}{r}
\]

Substituting \( r = \sqrt{x^2 + d^2} \):
\[
dF_y = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_0 \, \lambda \, dx \, d}{(x^2 + d^2)^{3/2}}
\]

#### 3. Integrating the force over the entire rod
The total force is obtained by integrating over the length of the rod, from \( -L/2 \) to \( L/2 \):
\[
F_y = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \int_{-L/2}^{L/2} \frac{q_0 \, \lambda \, d \, dx}{(x^2 + d^2)^{3/2}}
\]

This integral has a standard form, and the result is:
\[
F_y = \frac{q_0 \, \lambda}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{2d}{d \sqrt{(L/2)^2 + d^2}}
\]

### Substituting the given values:
- \( q_0 = 1 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{C} \)
- \( \lambda = 8 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{C/m} \)
- \( d = 0.05 \, \text{m} \)
- \( L = 0.15 \, \text{m} \)
- \( \epsilon_0 = 8.854 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/(\text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2) \)

Let's calculate the force.import numpy as np

# Constants
q0 = 1e-9  # Charge in C (1 nC)
lambda_ = 8e-9  # Linear charge density in C/m (8 nC/m)
d = 0.05  # Distance in m (5 cm)
L = 0.15  # Length of the rod in m (15 cm)
epsilon_0 = 8.854e-12  # Permittivity of free space in C^2/(N·m^2)

# Force calculation
numerator = 2 * q0 * lambda_ * d
denominator = 4 * np.pi * epsilon_0 * d * np.sqrt((L / 2) ** 2 + d ** 2)
force_y = numerator / denominator

force_y_mN = force_y * 1e3  # Convert to milliNewtons

force_y_mNThe magnitude of the electric force acting on the charge \( q_0 \) is approximately \( 0.16 \, \text{mN} \). This value doesn't exactly match any of the multiple-choice options provided, but it is closest to option (a) \( 0.1 \, \text{mN} \).

### B. Finding the Electric Field at the Point

The electric field at the position of \( q_0 \) can be calculated in a similar way by integrating the contributions from each infinitesimal charge element along the rod. The electric field \( E_y \) due to an infinitesimal charge element at a distance \( x \) from the center of the rod would be:
\[
dE_y = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{\lambda \, dx \, d}{(x^2 + d^2)^{3/2}}
\]
Integrating this expression will give the total field at the point.

Would you like me to proceed with this calculation for the electric field, or do you have any specific part of the solution you'd like more detail on?

Here are some related questions to consider:
1. What is the general principle behind integrating electric fields along a charged object?
2. How do horizontal and vertical components of forces behave in symmetric charge distributions?
3. How would the solution change if the charge density \( \lambda \) were not uniform?
4. How would the field look if \( q_0 \) were placed at a distance along the x-axis rather than along the y-axis?
5. What happens to the electric field and force if the distance \( d \) becomes very large?

**Tip:** Symmetry often simplifies electric field problems, especially when components cancel out, leaving just one component of interest.
