Question:medium

The surface charge density of a thin charged disc of radius R is σ. The value of the electric field at the centre of the disc is (σ)/(2varepsilon₀). With respect to the field at the centre, the electric field along the axis at a distance R from the centre of the disc:

Show Hint

For axial electric fields of discs, memorize: E = (σ)/(2varepsilon₀) (1 - fracx√(x² + R²)) It helps quickly compare fields at different points.
