Electric field
Question

For uniformly charged ring of radius R, the electric field on its axis has the largest magnitude at a distance 'h'  from its centre. The value of  h is

NA
Solution

Electric field on axis of ring

                                 E=KQxx2+R23/2

For maximum electric fielddEdx=0

(1) (x2+R2)-3/2 + (x) (-32)(x2+R2)-5/2 (2x) = 0

By solving we get 

x=R2
