As we have learnt,

 

Intensity due to uniform circular ring -

r\rightarrow Point on its Axis from ring

- wherein

At the centre of ring 

I=0

At a point on its Axis

I= \frac{GMr}{\left ( a^{2}+r^{2} \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}}

 

 

I= \frac{GMr}{\left ( a^{2}+r^{2} \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}} = 0 \; when \;r=0
