Chapter 5.2, Problem 1aT
Hold a small piece of paper (e.g., an index card) flat in front of you. The paper can be thought of as a part of a larger plane surface.
What single line could you use to specify the orientation of the plane of the paper (i.e., so that someone else could hold the paper in the same, or in a parallel, plane)?

You are given the following sample problem to present to your team of students, which you need to solve very quickly: A person is standing on the midline of a soccer field. At one end of the field, as shown, is a letter D, consisting of a semicircular metallic ring of radius R and a long straight metal rod of length 2R, the diameter of the ring. The plane of the ring is perpendicular to the ground and perpendicular to the midline of the field shown by the broken line as shown. Because of an approaching lightning storm, the semicircular ring and the rod become charged. The ring and the rod each attain a charge Q. What is the electric potential at point P, which is at a position x along the midline of the field, measured from the center of the rod, due to the letter D?
