Solution Verified by Toppr

Correct option is A)
Consider an element of length Rdθ and charge on
the element dq = λRdθ where λ = charge per unit
length.
Here sin component of net electric filed due to
element of both positive and negative charge will
cancel each other and only cosine component
contribute the filed. i.e,
kdq kλRdθ
dEO = 2dE cos θ = 2 cos θ = 2 cos θ
R2 R2

2kλR 2 2kλR
E= ∫ cos θdθ =
R2 0 R2
π 2k(2q) 4qk
Since q = λ( )R, thus E = =
2 πR2 πR2
As net field in the direction of negative x axis so
4qk ^
E= (−i)
πR2
thus, x = 4
