Problem

A thin nonconducting ring of radius R has a linear charge density = A.0 cos cp, where X0 is a constant, p is the azimuthal angle. Find the magnitude of the electric field strength (a) at the centre of the ring; (b) on the axis of the ring as a function of the distance x from its centre. Investigate the obtained function at x >> R.
