Calculate the potential due to a thin circular ring of radius a and mass M for points

Question:

Calculate the potential due to a thin circular ring of radius a and mass M for points lying in the plane of the ring and exterior to it. The result can be expressed as an elliptic integral. Assume that the distance from the center of the ring to the field point is large compared with the radius of the ring. Expand the expression for the potential and find the first correction term.
