Solution

The correct option is B 3QR28πε0x4
Electric field at point P due to +Q is
1KQx2(i)
Electric point at point P due to ring is
2=KQx(x2+R2)32(ii)
Net electric field at P is
=1+2KQx2+KQx(x2+R2)32=KQx2+KQxx3(1+R2x2)32=KQx21(1+R2x2)32(iii)sinexR,R2x21,usingbinomialsweget=KQx2[12{1+(32)(R2x2)}]e=KQx2[11+3R22x2]=3QR28πx4(K=14πo)
