Chapter 23, Problem 23.28P
Consider n equal positively charged particles each of magnitude Q/n placed symmetrically around a circle of radius a. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a point a distance x from the center of the circle and on the line passing through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the circle. (b) Explain why this result is identical to the result of the calculation done in Example 23.8.
