Question #342269

A disk of radius 1.20cm. It has a charged of -6.0nC spread uniformly over the said disk. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this disk produces at point A on the axis of the disk a distance of 2.0cm from its center

Expert's answer

E=k2qR2[1−zz2+R2]E=k\frac{2q}{R^2}\left[1-\frac{z}{\sqrt{z^2+R^2}}\right]

E=9∗1092∗6.0∗10−9(0.012)2[1−0.020.022+0.0122]E=9*10^9\frac{2*6.0*10^{-9}}{(0.012)^2}\left[1-\frac{0.02}{\sqrt{0.02^2+0.012^2}}\right]

E=5.34∗104 N/CE=5.34*10^4\:\rm N/C
