Calculate the potential energy of a point charge -q placed along the axis due to a charge +Q uniformly distributed along a ring of radius a. Sketch P.E. as a function of axial distance  z from the centre of the ring. Looking at the graph, can you see what would happen if -q is displaced slightly from the center of the ring (along the axis)?

A parallel plate capacitor is filled by a dielectric whose relative permittivity varies with the applied voltage V as ε=αV where α=2V-1. A similar capacitor with no dielectric is charged to 78V. It is then connected to the uncharged capacitor with the dielectric. Find the final voltage on the capacitors.
