A fixed ring of radius R is given a charge q. A charge `q_0` is brought slowly from infinity to the centre of the ring. The wrong statement is-

A

work done by external agent in bringing `q_(0)` is `1/(4pi epsilon_(0)). (q q_(0))/R` when charge distribution is uniform

B

work done by external agent in bringing `q_(c)` is `1/(4piepsilon_(0)) (q q_(0))/R`

C

force on `q_(0)` at the centre is zero, when charge distribution is uniform

D

force on `q_(0)` at the central is zero, when one half of the ring has positive charge and other half has negative charge

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the statements regarding the work done by an external agent when bringing a charge \( q_0 \) to the center of a charged ring and the forces acting on \( q_0 \) at that position. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have a fixed ring of radius \( R \) with a total charge \( q \) distributed uniformly along its circumference. - A charge \( q_0 \) is being brought from infinity to the center of the ring. 2. **Statement 1 Analysis**: - The work done by an external agent in bringing \( q_0 \) from infinity to the center of the ring can be calculated using the formula for electric potential energy. - The electric field \( E \) at the center of the ring due to the charge \( q \) is zero because the contributions from all parts of the ring cancel out. - Therefore, the work done \( W \) is given by: \[ W = \int_{\infty}^{0} F \cdot dr \] - Since \( E = 0 \) at the center, the force \( F \) on \( q_0 \) is also zero, leading to: \[ W = 0 \] - Thus, Statement 1 is **true**. 3. **Statement 2 Analysis**: - This statement suggests that the work done is \( \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \cdot \frac{q q_0}{R} \). - This expression is incorrect because, as established earlier, the work done in bringing \( q_0 \) to the center is zero. - Hence, Statement 2 is **false**. 4. **Statement 3 Analysis**: - This statement claims that the force on \( q_0 \) at the center is zero when the charge distribution is uniform. - As previously discussed, the electric field at the center of a uniformly charged ring is indeed zero, leading to zero force on \( q_0 \). - Therefore, Statement 3 is **true**. 5. **Statement 4 Analysis**: - This statement claims that the force on \( q_0 \) at the center is zero when one half of the ring has positive charge and the other half has negative charge. - If one half of the ring has positive charge and the other half has negative charge, the forces exerted by the positive and negative charges on \( q_0 \) will also cancel each other out. - Thus, the force on \( q_0 \) at the center will still be zero, making Statement 4 **true**. ### Conclusion: The wrong statement among the options provided is **Statement 2**.
