A circular ring carries a uniformly distributed positive charge and lies in \(X-Y\) plane with center at origin of co-ordinate system. If at a point \((0,0, z)\) the electric field is \(E\), then which of the following graphs is correct?
Solution
Following two arguments shall lead us to the right choice.
(i) Electric field at the center of the ring is zero.
(ii) Electric field is directed away from the ring.
