This equation is for the electric field of a uniform ring which is charged and is at point z which is perpendicular to the center of the ring. (it means z=0 is part of the plane in which the ring is in).
R=radius of ring, Q= total charge of ring, k= coulomb's constant.
If k=1 units, Q=1 units, R=8 units, what is Ering, z when z=6 units?
