Axial Electric Field of a Charged Disk
Axial Electric Field of a Charged Disk
The graphic shows the infinitesimal contributions to the electric field in a point at a distance above the center of a charged disk with uniform charge density and radius . In cylindrical coordinates, each contribution is proportional to , where and are the radial and angular coordinates.
