We have an infinitely long wire, again with linear charge density λ = 10 μC/m. We have a point charge, again with q = 75 μC. Point S is zS = 10 m away from the wire on the z-axis, point P is zP = 5 m away from the wire on the z-axis, and point T is yT = 5 m away from the wire on the y-axis. Remember that the electric field at a distance r away from a wire is E→wire = 2 kλrr^ Figure 2: Figure for Problems 3-5 3.

Q7. (Electric field due to continuous charge distribution) A semi-circular ring lying in the y−z plane has a charge density ρl = ρ0 cos⁡θ' coul /m, where θ′ is the angle measured from the z-axis as shown in the figure. (a) Find E for points (x, 0, 0) along the x-axis. (b) Show that for x ≫ R, the electric field is like that of a dipole, i. e. , depends on the cube (x3) of the displacement from the charge distribution.
