To solve the problem of finding the electric field and potential at the center of a quarter ring with radius \( R \) and uniform charge density \( \lambda \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Configuration We have a quarter ring that subtends an angle of \( 90^\circ \) (or \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) radians) at the center. The charge density is uniform, denoted as \( \lambda \). ### Step 2: Consider a Small Charge Element Let’s consider a small charge element \( dq \) on the quarter ring. The length of this small charge element can be expressed as: \[ ...
