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
probably resort to a graphical solution.)
