A strip of invisible tape 0.13 m long by 0.017 m wide is charged uniformly with a total net charge of 4 nC (nano=1×10??) and is
suspended horizontally, so it lies along the x axis, with its center at the origin, as shown in the figure below. Calculate the approximate
electric field at location <0, 0.04, 0> m (location A) due to the strip of tape. Do this by dividing the strip into three equal sections, as
shown in the figure below, and approximating each section as a point charge. (Assume each point charge is located at the center of the
section it approximates. Express your answer in vector form.)
