उत्तर
We know that the electric field is zero at the centre of a uniformly charged circular wire.
That is, the electric field due to a small element dl of wire + electric field due to the remaining wire = 0
Let the charge on the small element dl be dq. So,
\[dq = \frac{Q}{2\pi a}dL\]
Electric field due to a small element at the centre,
\[E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{dq}{a^2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0 a^2}\frac{Q}{2\pi a}dL = \frac{QdL}{8 \pi^2 \epsilon_0 a^3}\]
