    Disk of Charge: * Consider a circular plastic disk of radius ‘R’ and assume that uniform Positive charge is distributed on its upper surface of surface charge density 6 (charge per unit area) We have to calculate E.Field at point ‘P’ at distance z from the disk along its axis. For this, divide the whole disk into large number of concentric rings of equal width. Now consider a flat ring of radius’w’ having width ‘dw’ having total charge dq where dq=6dA Where ‘Scanned with CamScanner s00-AEx => SExadE awe PIE p= de oO ‘Scanned with CamScanner + dA= d(rw?) =2 tw dw So, dq = 5(2nw)dw Only z-component of E.field is non-zero. dE, = dEcos@ 1 dq =—— .2/) ~ Ame, 1? ‘Scanned with CamScanner _ 1 é(@nw)dw Z, 4még z*+w? “Vz24we _ 1 2z6@nw)dw ~ Ames [z2 + w? 3/2 For whole disk, integrate from 0 to R R E,= | dE, = | dE cos@ 0 R 1 285(2nw)dw a ie Ame, [22 + w?|3/2 ‘Scanned with CamScanner _ 26 (® (@w)dw 4€, Jy [2% + w23/2 -=J [22 + w?]-3/2 (2w)dw 26 \[2z2 +weyve|" aa tes —1/2 A —26 AE, 2 f [2 +wep|, ‘Scanned with CamScanner _ 26 E 1 2€o 2 aR so, an, fi z ~ Qegl [z2 + zr\ pela 7 26,| vz + Re Which is the final expression.

Faraday’s did not given the mathematical description but the graphical description. >The tangent to the Electric Field lines passing through any point in space gives direction of E.F at that point. >The Electric Field lines starts from positive charge and ends on negative charge. >The magnitude of the Electric field at any point is proportional to the number of Field lines per unit cross-sectional area perpendicular to the lines. ‘Scanned with CamScanner Numerical Problems:
