Electric Field of a Non-Uniformly Charged Disk

Mark
< Prev
Next >

A thin circular disk of radius RR has a surface charge density given by σ(r)=σ0(rR)3\sigma(r) = \sigma_0 \left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^3, where rr is the distance from the center and σ0=2.0×10−6\sigma_0 = 2.0 \times 10^{-6} C/m2^2. Determine the magnitude of the electric field at a point on the disk’s axis, a distance z=R/2z = R/2 from its center. Use the value ε0=8.85×10−12\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} C2^2/(N·m2^2).
