A wire of length L carries a charge λ per unit length. (a) Showthat the electric field at a point a distance R from the wire isgiven by:

E perpendicular = (kλ/R)(sinθ2 - sinθ1)and E parallel = -(kλ/R)(cosθ2 - cosθ1),

(b) Find the field lines when the point is equidistant from bothends

(c) The signs of angles θ1 and θ2 areindicated in the figure
