Calculate the potential energy of a point charge $-q$ placed along the axis due to a charge $+Q$ uniformly distributed along a ring of radius $R$. Sketch the potential energy $(P.E.)$ as a function of axial distance $z$ from the centre of the ring. Looking at the graph,can you determine what would happen if $-q$ is displaced slightly from the centre of the ring along the axis?
