A total charge Q = 3.6 μC is distributed uniformly over aquarter circle arc of radius a = 8.8 cm as shown.



a)What is λ the linear charge density along the arc?

b)What is Ex, the value of the x-component of theelectric field at the origin (x,y) = (0,0) ?

c)What is Ey, the value of the y-component of theelectric field at the origin (x,y) = (0,0) ?

d) How does the magnitude of the electric field at the originfor the quarter-circle arc you have just calculated comnpare to theelectric field at the origin produced by a point charge Q = 3.6 μClocated a distance a = 8.8 cm from the origin along a45o line as shown in the figure?

A. The magnitude ofthe field from the point charge is less than that from thequarter-arc of charge.
B. The magnitude of thefield from the point charge is equal to that from the quarter-arcof charge
C. The magnitude of thefield from the point charge is greater than that from thequarter-arc of charge
