Question

n figure (a), a particle of charge +Q produces an electric field of magnitude Epart at point P, at distance R from the particle. In figure (b), that same amount of charge is spread uniformly along a circular arc that has radius R and subtends an angle θ. The charge on the arc produces an electric field of magnitude Earc at its center of curvature P. For what value of θ does Earc = 0.665Epart? (Hint: You will probably resort to a graphical solution.)
