A semicircle of radius a is in the second and third quadrants, with the center of the curvature
at the origin. Positive charge +2Q is distributed uniformly around the bottom half of the
semicircle, and negative charge -2Q is distributed uniformly around the top half of the
semicircle as shown in the figure. What is the direction of the net electric field at the origin
produced by this distribution of charge?
