Electric Potential: Practice Problem & Solution

At the centre of a uniformaly charged ring :
E = 0, V = 0
E = maximum, V = 0
E = maximum, V = maximum
E = 0, V = maximum

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Electric Potential. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

At the centre of a uniformly charge ring electric field becomes zero because being a vector quantity it will cancel out each.

Electric potential is a scaler quantity so will be present at the centre of ring.

E = 0, V = maximum
