Question

A charge, Q, is arranged into a continuous ring centered at the origin. By symmetry, it can be seen that at the origin:

(Assume that potential goes to zero at infinity...)

Both the electric field and the electric potential due to the ring will have zero magnitude.

The electric field will have zero magnitude, but the electric potential will not.

The electric potential will have zero magnitude, but the electric field will not.

Neither the electric field nor the electric potential will have zero magnitude.

Both the electric field and the electric potential due to the ring will have zero magnitude.

The electric field will have zero magnitude, but the electric potential will not.

The electric potential will have zero magnitude, but the electric field will not.

Neither the electric field nor the electric potential will have zero magnitude.

Explanation / Answer

The electric field will have zero magnitude, but the electric potential will not.
