The correct answer is:
Let's divide the loop in two parts. 1. The small element of length, , which is to be cut off, 2. The Remaining part of the loop,
Initially, by symmetry, the net Electric field at the center is zero.
∴ Remaining Wire element ,
remaining wire element .
The charge per unit length of the wire is, , the charge on the length of the wire, .
The small element can be considered as a point charge, So its Electric Field at the center,
