A positively charged disk of radius R and total charge Qdisk lies in the xz plane, centered on the y axis (Fig. P24.35). Also centered on the y axis is a charged ring with the same radius as the disk and total charge Qring. The ring is a distance d above the disk. Determine the electric field at the point P on the y axis, where P is above the ring a distance y from the origin.
The electric field at a point on the perpendicular bisector of a charged rod was calculated as the first example of a continuous charge distribution, resulting in Equation 24.15:E=kQy12+y2j a.
