A uniformly charged disc of radius R having surface charge density σ is placed in the x y plane with its center at the origin. Find the electric field intensity along the z -axis at a distance Z from origin:
Options
- AE = 2 ε 0 σ 1 Z 2 + R 2 1 / 2 + Z
- BE = σ 2 ε 0 1 + Z Z 2 + R 2 1 / 2
- CE = σ 2 ε 0 1 - Z Z 2 + R 2 1 / 2
- DE = σ 2 ε 0 1 Z 2 + R 2 + 1 Z 2
Correct answer
C. E = σ 2 ε 0 1 - Z Z 2 + R 2 1 / 2
Step-by-step solution
E = ∫ 0 R 1 4 π ε 0 × σ × 2 π x d x × x x 2 + Z 2 3 2 = σ 2 ε 0 1 - Z Z 2 + R 2 1 / 2
