center of a very large square on the line perpendicular to the square and
going through its center. Determine the approximate electric flux through
the square due to the charged particle. (c) How do the answers to parts (a)
and (b) compare? Explain.

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 8. The
charge on the arc produces an electric field of
magnitude Earc at its center of curvature P. For what
value of 0 (in º) does Earc = 0.75Epart? (Hint: You will
