Problem: A disk with radius R has uniform surface charge density. By regarding the disk as a series of thin concentric rings, calculate the electric potential V at a point on the disk’s axis a distance x from the center of the disk. Assume that the potential is zero at infinity. Answer: V = (____________/____________) ( sqrt(____________+____________) - x )
