The electric potential generated by a uniformly charged disk of total charge Q and radius R is given by 20 F(y) = (Vy² + R² – y), - where y is the distance from the disk and F(y) is the potential at distance y. We want to understand what happens when y is very large, so do this: a. Change variables from y to x = 1/y, so that when y is big, x is close to zero. Simplify! b. Find a Taylor polynomial centered at x = 0 for the potential in terms of x. c. Use this to justify the following claim: "at points far from the disk, the po- tential is approximately Q/y."
