    How Is the Radial Component of an Electric Field Proven to Cancel Out in a Ring?

    This is about the electric field of a ring with radius r, at a distance z from center, along the axis of the ring. The ring carries a uniform line charge \lambda. We always say that the radial component of the field cancels out due to symmetry. Can somebody tell how to prove it mathematically...

    Generation of a magnetic field by rotating a charged ring

    Let's assume the case for metallic ring that possesses a net negative charge within. To generate a magnetic field, the field generated by negative charges should not be canceled out by the positive charge.
