    In the figure 2.7, it is considered a small length element dx at a distance x from the origin.Now if we consider line charge density (denoted by lambda) ,then z component & x component of electric field by integrating along 0 to L. Now for figure 2.8 we have applied this formula in case of square.. For each 4 length, Electric Field is 4E1 cos theta..

    that means all the sin theta cancel out in fig. 2.8

    yes in figure 2.8 , sin theta components are being cancelled.Only Cos theta components will be added up..All 4 cos theta components will be added and will give result 4E1 cos theta.. that's actually vertical components
