Problem

A conductor of length L=50 cmL = 50\,\text{cm} has a uniform cross-sectional area. Its resistivity increases linearly from ρ0\rho_{0} at the left end (x=0x=0) to 3ρ03\rho_{0} at the right end (x=Lx=L). A potential difference V=10 VV = 10\,\text{V} is applied across the rod. At which distance xx from the left end is the electric field strength exactly double the field strength at x=0x=0?
