Question:

A disk of radius 30 cm carries a uniform charge density ?.

(a) Compare the approximation E?= 2?k??with the exact expression (Equation 23-11) for the electric field on the axis of the disk by computing the fractional difference ?E/E?? x/??x2+R2 for the distances x = 0.1, x = 0.2, and x = 3 cm.

(b) At what distance is the neglected term 1% of 2?k? ?
