RC-2 A half ring of charge lies in the x-z plane
with its center at the origin as shown to
the right. There are λ coulombs per
meter of charge evenly distributed along
the ring, which has radius 'a'.
a) Sketch on your paper figures like the
figures shown to the right. On your
figures show an arrow representing
the electric field at the point P that is
produced by source charge element dq.
b) Use Coulomb's law to calculate the
magnitude of the x, y and z components
of the total electric field at P due to the
half ring of charge. If any component
is equal to zero, you may use the symmetry
argument to explain why it is zero instead
of doing the calculations.
