This document provides the solution to calculating the electric field on the axis of a ring with a uniform charge density. It shows that:
1) The electric field at a point P on the axis of the ring due to a small length element of charge on the ring points along the axis in the +x direction.
2) Integrating the contribution of all small length elements over the entire ring gives the electric field at P as a function of x.
3) The electric field is proportional to Qx/(R^2 + x^2)^{3/2}, where Q is the total charge on the ring, R is the ring radius, and x is the distance from the center along the axis
