Let us sub-divide the entire ring into two parts: a part corresponding to the angle 2α 1, and the
rest of the ring, as shown in Figure 4. While the angle is small in comparison to 1, let us assume
that the length of the rst part, αR, is still large compared to a (αR a). Let us calculate the
electrostatic potential Φ at point K. It it a sum of two terms: the rst one produced by the cut-out
part with an angle 2α (contribution Φ1 ) and the second one originating from the rest of the ring
(contribution Φ2 ).
