Question
A circular wire-loop of radius a carries a total charge Q distributed uniformly over its length. A small length dL of the wire is cut off. Find the electric field at the centre due to the remaining wire.

Answer

$\frac{\text{Charge}}{\text{Unit length}}=\frac{\text{Q}}{2\pi\text{a}}=\lambda;$ Charge of $\text{d}\ell=\frac{\text{Qd}\ell}{2\pi\text{a}}\text{C}$

Initially the electric field was ‘0’ at the centre. Since the element ‘dℓ’ is removed so, net electric field must $\frac{\text{K}\times\text{q}}{\text{a}^2}$

Where q = charge of element $\text{d}\ell$

$\text{E}=\frac{\text{Kq}}{\text{a}^2}$

$=\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}\times\frac{\text{Q}\text{d}\ell}{2\pi\text{a}}\times\frac{1}{\text{a}^2}$

$=\frac{\text{Qd}\ell}{8\pi^2\in_0\text{a}^3}$
