QUESTION:

Consider a ring of radius R with the total charge Q spread uniformly over its perimeter. What is the potential difference between the point at the center of the ring and a point on its axis a distance 2R from the center?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

Electric potential is the amount of work required for moving the unit positive charge from the infinity to some reference point.

                                                         

Here  is the potential difference between the points  and ,  is the work done by the field in moving a test positive charge  from  to .
