A wire of lengthL=20 cmis bent into a semi-circular arc and the two equal halves of the arc are uniformly charged with charges+Qand-Qas shown in the figure. The magnitude of the charge on each half isQ=103ε0, whereε0is the permittivity of free the space. The net electric field at the centreOis

Question diagram: A wire of length L = 20 c m is bent into a semi-circular arc

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:



L=πR

R= L π = 20 100π m= 1 5π  m

due to a charge arc, electric field at centre is given by

E= 2Kλ R sin θ 2



E1=E2=2kRsin902         {=QπR/2}
