GO In Fig, 22-51, two curved plastic rods, one of charge +q and the other of charge −q, form a circle of radius R = 8.50 cm in an xy plane. The x axis passes through both of the connecting points, and the charge is distributed uniformly on both rods. If q = 15.0 pC, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the electric field
