Detailed Solution
From figure, dl=Rdθ Charge on dl=λRdθ λ=qπRElectric field at centre due to di, is dE=k·λRdθR2We need to consider only the component dE cos θ as the component dE sin θ will cancel out because of the field at C due to the symmetrical element dl'. Total field at centre =2∫0π/2dEcosθ=2kλR∫0π/2cosθdθ=2kλR=q2π2ε0R2
