rods, one of charge +q and the
other of charge-q, form a circle

plane. The x axis passes through
both of the connecting points,
and the charge is distributed
uniformly on both rods. If the
linear charge density A = 4.8 x
10-10 C/m, what is the magnitude
of the electric field (in N/C)
produced at P?
