Using the Dirac-delta function, find the potential and electric field at the point (0,0,Z) of a homogeneously charged disk of radius a with total charge Q.
Suppose we let the radius approach zero. What would happen to the self-potential energy?
How should I approach this question, apparently we need to get the integral of something to get the total work, but I am unsure where.
