Question
The linear charge density on a dielectric ring of radius R varies with θ as λ = λ0 cos θ/2, where λ0 is constant. Find the potential at the centre O of ring. [in volt] :-
Options
A.λ0R
B.
C.
D.zero
Solution
The charge on the infinitesimal elements of arc which subtend an angle dθ at the centre of the ring.
