Question

Transcribed Image Text:A semicircle
of radius a is in the first and Figure
second quadrants, with the cen-
ter of curvature at the origin.
Positive charge +Q is distrib-
uted uniformly around the left
half of the semicircle, and nega-
tive charge -Q is distributed
uniformly around the right half
of the semicircle (Fig. P21.86).
What are the magnitude and direction of the net electric field at
the origin produced by this distribution of charge?
