A straight, nonconducting plastic wire 9.50 cm long
carries a charge density of 100 nC/m distributed uniformly along
it's length. It is lying on a horizontal tabletop.
A. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this wire
produces at a point 4.50 cm directly above its midpoint.
B. If the wire is now bent into a circle lying flat on the table,
find the magnitude and direction of the electric field it produces
at a point 4.50 cm directly above its center.
