using gauss law
E*s = Q / eo
Q = sigma * 2/3 pie*R^3
E*2pie R^2 = 2/3pie*R^3 / eo
E = sigma * R / 3eo

E=dv/dr
dv = Edr
integrate
V = S sigma *R / 3eo dr
= sigma / 3eo * R^2/2
= sigma R^2 / 6eo

\mbox{Radius of elementary ring }= R \sin \theta \\ \\<br/>Therefore \ , \ dq= \sigma * 2 \pi R \sin \theta dr \\ \\<br/>where \ dr = d\theta * R  [\mbox{Use angle = arc/radius}] \\ \\<br/>dq = \sigma * 2 \pi R \sin \theta d\theta * R\\ \\<br/>\mbox{From symmetry of problem }E_x=0 \\ \\<br/>Now , dE_y = \frac{K dq}{R^2} \cos \theta \\ \\<br/>= \frac{\sigma}{2 \epsilon _0} \sin \theta \cos \theta d\theta \\ \\<br/>\mbox {On integrating the above expression from }0 \ to \ \frac{\pi}{2} \\ \\<br/>Answer= \frac{\sigma}{4 \epsilon _0 }\\ \\


 


POTENTIAL-> \\ \\<br/>dV= \frac{K dq}{R}  \ ........  [Use \ V_{ring}=\frac{Kq}{\sqrt{r^2+x^2}} ]\\ \\<br/>Hence, \ dV=\frac{\sigma R}{2 \epsilon _0}\sin \theta d\theta \\ \\<br/>\mbox{Integrate as previously } \\ \\<br/>V=\frac{\sigma R}{2 \epsilon _0}
