Constant Electric Field in a Vacuum

Problem 3.10

A point charge qq is located at the centre of a thin ring of radius RR with uniformly distributed charge q.-q . Find the magnitude of the electric field strength vector at the point lying on the axis of the ring at a distance xx from its centre, if xRx \gg R.
