$A$ charge $+q$ is distributed over a thin ring of radius $r$ with line charge density $\lambda = q \sin^2 \theta / (\pi r)$. Note that the ring is in the $XY$-plane and $\theta$ is the angle made by the position vector with the $X$-axis. The work done by the electric force in displacing a point charge $+Q$ from the centre of the ring to infinity is

$90 \ J$ of work is done to move an electric charge of magnitude $3 \ C$ from a place $A$,where potential is $-10 \ V$,to another place $B$,where potential is $V_1 \ V$. The value of $V_1$ is: (in $V$)

Which is the important quantity used to describe any force field?

Draw a graph showing the variation of electric potential $V$ with distance $r$ from the center for a uniformly charged spherical shell of radius $R$.
