To find the electric potential at the center of curvature of a semicircle formed by a thin rod of length \( L \) with a uniformly distributed positive charge \( Q \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Radius of the Semicircle The length of the rod \( L \) when bent into a semicircle corresponds to the semicircular arc length. The length of a semicircle is given by: \[ L = \pi R \] ...
