As we learnt

Potential due to Uniform Ring -

r= distance from ring

a ightarrow radius of Ring

V ightarrow Potential 

 

- wherein

At a point on its Axis 

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

At the centre 

V=-frac{GM}{a}

 V_{p}=N_{spenual shell}+N_{particle}

\frac{Gm}{a}+\frac{Gm}{\frac{a}{2}}=\frac{3Gm}{a}


Option 1)

\frac {-3GM}{a}

Correct Optino

Option 2)

\frac{-2GM}{a}

Incorrect Option

Option 3)

\frac{-GM}{a}

Incorrect Option

Option 4)

\frac{-4GM}{a}

Incorrect Option
