Calculate 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 $P.E.$ as a function of axial distance $z$ from the centre of the ring. Looking at graph, can you see what would happen if $-q$ is displaced slightly from the centre of the ring (along the axis) ?
