Find the electric field at the centre of a uniformly charged semicircular ring of radius R. Linear charge density is `lamda`

A

`(lamda)/(2piepsi_(0)a)`

B

`(lamda)/(4epsi_(0)a)`

C

`(lamda)/(2piepsi_(0)a^(2))`

D

`(lamda^(2))/(4piepsi_(0)a)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`E=sum(dQ)/(4piepsi_(0)a^(2))=sum(lamdadl)/(4piepsi_(0)a^(2))`
`therefore E=(lamdapia)/(4piepsi_(0)a^(2))=(lamda)/(4epsi_(0)a)`
