A half ring of charge lies in the

plane with its center at the origin as shown to the right. There are

coulombs per meter of charge evenly distributed along the ring, which has radius '

'. 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

that is produced by source charge element dq. b) Use Coulomb's law to calculate the magnitude of the

and

components of the total electric field at

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.
