To find the point on the axis of a uniformly charged ring where the electric field is maximum, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration Consider a uniformly charged ring of radius \( R \) with total charge \( Q \). We are interested in the electric field at a point \( P \) located on the axis of the ring at a distance \( x \) from its center. ### Step 2: Expression for Electric Field The electric field \( E \) at point \( P \) due to the charged ring can be expressed as: \[ ...
