A strip of invisible tape 0.12 m long by 0.013 m wide is charged uniformly with a total net charge of 3 nC (nano = 1 ×

10−9) and is suspended horizontally, so it lies along the x axis, with its center at the origin, as shown in Figure 16.52.

Calculate the approximate electric field at location 0, 0.03, 0 m (location A) due to the strip of tape. Do this by dividing

the strip into three equal sections, as shown in Figure 16.52, and approximating each section as a point charge
