As we have learnt,

 

 

Gravitational potential due to Uniform circular ring -

For Uniform circular ring

 

r= distance from ring

a\rightarrow radius of Ring

V\rightarrow Potential 

 

At a point on its Axis 

V=-\frac{GM}{\sqrt{a^{2}+r^{2}}}

At the center 

V=-\frac{GM}{a}

 

 At the centre V = \frac{-GM}{a}[as given in formula]
