A ring of radius R = 4cm lies in the y-z plane and is centered at the origin. The ring carries a uniform charge Q = 48μC. A point P is located along the x-axis a distance x = 3.9 cm from the origin. The equation for electric potential at point P due to charge on the ring can be represented as V = (kQ)/(R2+x2)0.5.
