Answer:

84.82N/C.

Explanation:

The x-components of the electric field cancel; therefore, we only care about the y-components.

The y-component of the differential electric field at the center is

$dE = \frac{kdQ }{R^2} sin(\theta )$.

Now, let us call \lambda the charge per unit length, then we know that

dQ = \lambda Rd\theta;

therefore,

$dE = \frac{k \lambda R d\theta }{R^2} sin(\theta )$

$dE = \frac{k \lambda  d\theta }{R} sin(\theta )$

Integrating

$E = \frac{k \lambda   }{R}\int_0^\pi sin(\theta )d\theta$

$E = \frac{k \lambda   }{R}*[-cos(\pi )+cos(0) ]$

$E = \frac{2k \lambda   }{R}.$

Now, we know that

\lambda = 3.0*10^{-9}C/m,

k = 9*10^9kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^{-2},

and the radius of the semicircle is

\pi R = 2.0m,\\\\R = \dfrac{2.0m}{\pi };

therefore,

$E = \frac{2(9*10^9) (3.0*10^{-9})   }{\dfrac{2.0}{\pi } }.$

$\boxed{E = 84.82N/C.}$
