A ring of radius R has charge Q. At a point on the axis of thering, a distance y above the plane of the ring, the electricpotential (voltage) is V = (k Q)/sqrt(R^2+ y^2). Use the voltage tofind the y-component of the electric field at the point. Do NOTintegrate directly to get field!

The answer should be entered in symbols R, Q, k, y, andnumbers.

Answer in one word.

When we find the electric field due to a continuous charge distribution, we imagine slicing that source up into small pieces, finding the electric field produced by the pieces, and then integrating to find the electric field. Let's see what happens if we break a finite rod up into a small number of finite particles. The figure shows a rod of length 2l carrying a uniform charge Q modelled as two particles of charge Q/2. The particles are at the ends of the rod.
