Assume a uniformly charged ring of radius R and charge Q produces an electric field E ringat a point P on its axis, at distance x away from the center of the ring as in Figure a. Now the same charge Q is spread uniformly over the circular area the ring encloses, forming a flat disk of charge with the same radius as in Figure b. How does the field E disk produced by the disk at P compare with the field produced by the ring at the same point?
