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

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}


E 1 =E 2 = 2 2 KQ π R 2

Component alongj^ gets cancelled and

E net = 2 E 1

= 4KQ π R 2
