Consider two thin disks, of negligible thickness, of radius R oriented perpendicular to the x axis such that the x axis runs through the center of each disk. The disk centered at x=0 has positive charge density η, and the disk centered at x=a has negative charge density −η, where the charge density is charge per unit area. What is the magnitude E of the electric field at the point on the x axis with x coordinate a/2? Express your answer in terms of η, R, a, and the permittivity of free space ϵ0.
