I need help with this problem. Thank you!

a two dimensional disk has a radius of 4.6 cm

it has a charge of 4.5 nC

I need to find the magnitude of the electric field vector on the axis of a disk that is 20 cm from the disks center

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The radius of the disk is R = 4.6 cm =0.046 m.

The charge on the disk is Q = 4.5 nC.

The distance along the axis of the disk is x = 20 cm = 0.2 m.
