    Answer:

     V = k Q/l  ln [(l +√(l² + x²)) / x]

    Explanation:

    The electrical potential for a continuous distribution of charges is

          V = k ∫ dq / r

    Let’s apply this expression to our case, define a linear charge density for the bar

               λ = dq / dy

              dq = λ dy

    The distance from a point on the bar to the x-axis is

                r = √ (x² + y²)

    Let’s replace

              V = K ∫ λ dy /√ (x² + y²)

         

    We integrate

             V = k λ ln (y + √ (x² + y²))

           

    Let’s evaluate between y = 0 and y = l

             V = k λ [ ln (l +√(x² + l²) – ln x]

    We substitute the linear density

               V = k Q/l  ln [(l +√(l² + x²)) / x]
