**Topic: Calculation of Total Charge on a Rod**

Given a constant *linear charge density* \(\lambda = \lambda_0\):

1. **Problem 1:** Find the total charge "Q" placed on a *straight rod* of length "L".

2. **Problem 2:** Find the total charge "Q" placed on a *straight rod bent into a circle* of radius "R".

**Instructions:**
- Use the concept of linear charge density, defined as the charge per unit length along an object.
- Consider the geometric configurations of the rod for each problem when calculating the total charge.
- Apply integration techniques if needed to determine the charge distribution over the specified lengths.
