Vedclass · Answer

(a) From figure $dl = R d	heta $;
Charge on $ dl = \lambda R d	heta $ $\left\{ {\lambda = \frac{q}{{\pi R}}} ight\}$
Electric field at centre due to $dl$ is $dE = k.\frac{{\lambda Rd	heta }}{{{R^2}}}$.
We need to consider only the component $dE\,\cos 	heta ,$ as the component $dE \,sin	heta$ will cancel out because of the field at $C$ due to the symmetrical element $dl'$.
Total field at centre $ = 2\int_{\,0}^{\,\pi /2} {\,dE\,\cos 	heta } $
$ = \frac{{2k\lambda }}{R}\int_{\,0}^{\,\pi /2} {\,\cos 	heta \,d	heta } = \frac{{2k\lambda }}{R} = \frac{q}{{2{\pi ^2}{\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$
Alternate method : As we know that electric field due to a finite length charged wire on it's perpendicular bisector is given by $E = \frac{{2k\lambda }}{R}\sin 	heta .$
If it is bent in the form of a semicircle then $q = 90&deg;$
$==>$ $E = \frac{{2k\lambda }}{R}$
= $2 	imes \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\left( {\frac{{q/\pi R}}{R}} ight)$
= $\frac{q}{{2{\pi ^2}{\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$
