Textbook Question

Chapter 24, Problem 75PQ

A conducting rod carrying a total charge of +9.00 μC is bent into a semicircle of radius R = 33.0 cm, with its center of curvature at the origin (Fig.P24.75). The charge density along the rod is given by λ = λ₀ sin θ, where θ is measured clockwise from the +x axis. What is the magnitude of the electric force on a 1.00-μC charged particle placed at the origin?
