Question
Find the electric field a distance z above the center of a flat circular disk of radius R (See attatched figure) that carries a uniform surface charge σ. What does your formula give in the limit R → ∞? Also check the case z >> R.
Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts a diagram of a cylindrical coordinate system. It features a circle that represents the base of a cylinder. Here's a detailed description of the diagram:
1. **Circle Base**: The circle is filled with a light gray shade, indicating the area of the base of the cylinder.
2. **Point P**: Above the circle, there is a point labeled "P" which represents a point in space above the base.
3. **Vertical Line Segment**: A dashed line extends vertically from the center of the circle to the point "P", labeled with "z," indicating the height or distance from the base to point "P".
4. **Radius Line**: From the center of the circle, a solid arrowed line extends horizontally and is labeled "R", which represents the radius of the circular base.
This diagram is typically used to illustrate concepts in cylindrical coordinates, where any point in space is determined by a radius (R), an angle (not shown in the diagram), and a height (z).
