							Dear student,

Distance of each infinitesimally small charge element on the ring from the given point is

d=\sqrt{x^2+r^2}
Hence total electric potential at that point=V=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\dfrac{\int dq}{\sqrt{x^2+r^2}}=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\dfrac{\lambda( 2\pi r)}{\sqrt{x^2+r^2}}=\dfrac{\lambda r}{2\epsilon_0\sqrt{x^2+r^2}}
HenceE=-\dfrac{dV}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\lambda r}{2\epsilon_0 (x^2+r^2)^{3/2}}.2x=\dfrac{\lambda rx}{2\epsilon_0(x^2+r^2)^{3/2}}
