Question
Total charge of 1 μC is non-uniformly distributed on a ring of radius 2 m, the potential at the centre of the ring is
Solution
The electric potential at the center of a ring due to a charge on the ring is given by the formula:
V = kQ/r
where:
- V is the electric potential,
- k is Coulomb's constant (approximately 9.0 x 10^9 N m^2/C^2),
- Q is the total charge on the ring, and
- r is the radius of the ring.
However, this formula assumes a uniform distribution of charge on the ring. The question specifies a non-uniform distribution of charge, but does not provide enough information to determine how the charge is distributed. Therefore, we cannot calculate the electric potential without this information.
