Question
A ring of radius R=61 cm carries a charge of Q=+610 nC uniformly distributed over it. A point charge q is place at the center of the ring, as shown. The electric field is equal to zero at the point P which is on the axis of the ring and a distance d=25 cm from its center. What must be the charge q in nC?
