A straight, nonconducting plastic wire 9.00 cm long carries a charge density of 125 nC/m distributed uniformly along its length. It is lying on a horizontal tabletop.

A) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this wire produces at a point 6.00 cm directly above its midpoint.

B) If the wire is now bent into a circle lying flat on the table, find the magnitude and direction of the electric field it produces at a point 6.00 cm directly above its center.
