Charge Q = 25 μ C is uniformly distributed along a thin, flexible rod that is bent into a quarter-circle of radius R = 0.6 m , as shown in the figure.
Measured in V/m, what is the electric field at the origin (in component form)?
E = i ^ + j ^
(Hint: A small piece of arc length Δ s spans a small angle Δ θ = Δ s / R , where R is the radius.)
