A thin circular ring of charge has radius $R$ and charge per unit length $\lambda .$ What is the electric potential at the center of the ring? Take $V=0$ at infinity.
Electric Potential
Electric Potential: Voltage
A thin circular ring of radius R has a charge +Q uniformly distributed on the entire loop. (a) What is the value of the electric potential at a point a distance x from the center of the ring along the axis that passes through the center of the ring? (b) Using the potential from part(a), calculate the electric field created from the ring.
