An insulating solid sphere of radius $R$ has a uniformly
positive charge density $\rho$. As a result of this uniform charge distribution there is a finite value of electric potential at the centre of the sphere, at the surface of the sphere and also at a point out side the sphere. The electric potential at infinite is zero.
Statement$ -1$ : When a charge $q$ is take from the centre of the surface of the sphere its potential energy changes by $\frac{{q\rho }}{{3{\varepsilon _0}}}$
Statement$ -2$ : The electric field at a distance $r(r < R)$ from centre of the sphere is $\frac{{\rho r}}{{3{\varepsilon _0}}}$

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