(a) Find E for points (x, 0, 0) along the x-axis. (b) Show that for x ≫ R, the electric field is like that of a dipole, i. e. , depends on the cube (x3) of the displacement from the charge distribution.

A thin wire with uniform charge density and total charge Q is bent into a 1/4 circle or radius R as shown. The position P sits at the center of the circle. The z-axis sticks up out of the page Find the potential, V(0, 0, z), i. e. as a function of the z-coordinate for x = 0, y = 0, Find the z-component of the electric field, Ez, where z is the direction out of the page by taking the appropriate partial derivative of V. Compute E→ directly by integrating E→ = ∫dE→ For this problem, consider splitting the arc up into infinitesimal segments of angle dθ, find the contribution from each segment, and integrate the result to find the total answer. All vector quantities (e. g. E→ but not V or Ez ) must be expressed in components using unit vector notation (e. g. v→ = vxi^+vyj^+vzk^
