A non-conducting ring of radius $0.5\,m$ carries a total charge of $1.11 \times {10^{ - 10}}\,C$ distributed non-uniformly on its circumference producing an electric field $\vec E$ everywhere in space. The value of the line integral $\int_{l = \infty }^{l = 0} {\, - \overrightarrow E .\overrightarrow {dl} } \,(l = 0$ being centre of the ring) in volt is
