Step 1
Step 1:** To find the Electric Potential (V) at a point on the axis of the ring distance X from its center, we need to use the formula derived in the Explanation: \[ V = k \frac{Q}{\sqrt{R^2 + X^2}} \] ** Show more…

A charge Q is distributed uniformly around the perimeter of a ring of radius R. Determine the electric potential difference between the point at the center of the ring and a point on its axis at a distance 20R from the center. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: ke.) ΔV = V(0) - V(20R) =?

(II) A nonconducting sphere of radius $r_{0}$ carries a total charge $Q$ distributed uniformly throughout its volume. Determine the electric potential as a function of the distance $r$ from the center of the sphere for $(a) r>r_{0}$ and $(b) r < r_{0} .$ Take $V=0$ at $r=\infty .(c)$ Plot $V$ versus $r$ and $E$ versus $r .$
