I have searched in Internet and found many sites, but all these sites give the whole perimeter (circumference) length of an ellipse with series expansion, so I calculate till the accuracy that I want (as in image below).
But I would like to calculate the length of an elliptic arc with series expansions till wanted accuracy, I can not deduce so formula.

Plenty of accurate approximations are known for the ellipse perimeter.
If we denote the $p$-th power mean through $$ M_p(a,b) = \sqrt[p]{\frac{a^p+b^p}{2}} \tag{1}$$ due to the results of Muirhead, Alzer and Qiu, the perimeter $L(a,b)$ of an ellipse with semi-axis $a$ and $b$ fulfills
