A straight, nonconducting plastic wire 8.50 cm long carries a charge density of + 175 nC/m distributed uniformly along its length. It is lying on a horizontal tabletop.
(a) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this wire produces at a point 6.00 cm directly above its midpoint.
(b) If the wire is now bent into a circle lying flat on the table, find the magnitude and direction of the electric field it produces at a point 6.00 cm directly above its center. |
