### Electric Field Due to a Uniformly Charged Disk

**Problem Statement:**
A uniformly charged disk with a radius \( R = 45.0 \) cm and a uniform charge density \( \sigma = 8.10 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{C/m}^2 \) lies in the xy-plane, with its center at the origin. What is the electric field (in MN/C) due to the charged disk at the following locations?

**Locations to Determine the Electric Field:**

**(a)** At \( z = 5.00 \) cm  
**User Input:** 24.97 MN/C  
**Result:** Incorrect (❌)

**(b)** At \( z = 10.0 \) cm  
**User Input:** 47.34 MN/C  
**Result:** Incorrect (❌)

**(c)** At \( z = 50.0 \) cm  
**User Input:** 76.23 MN/C  
**Result:** Incorrect (❌)

**(d)** At \( z = 200 \) cm  
**User Input:** 10.76 MN/C  
**Result:** Incorrect (❌)

### Explanation:
For a disk of charge density \(\sigma\) and radius \( R \), the electric field \( E_z \) at a distance \( z \) along the axis perpendicular to the disk can be calculated using the formula:

\[ E_z = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} \left( 1 - \frac{z}{\sqrt{z^2 + R^2}} \right) \]

where \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space. The answers provided above for different \( z \)-values were incorrect based on this formula.
