### Electric Field Intensity Due To a Circular Disk Charge - Field Theory.

- Consider a circular disc of radius ‘a’ which carries a uniform surface charge density ρs , C /m2.

- Say the disk lies on x-y plane (or z = 0 plane) with its axis along the z axis as shown in the figure.

- We need to find out electric field (E) due to a circular disk at a point P (0, 0, h) on the z axis (z > 0).

- Electric field intensity (E) at a point due to any surface charge (ρs) is given as:

- Consider the triangle shown in figure(Since it’s a disc, the varying terms are radius ρ and angle φ)

As per the vector law of addition,

ρ aρ + R = h az → R = - ρ aρ + h az

| R | = (ρ2 + h2)1/2

aR = R / | R |

aR = - ρ aρ + h az / (ρ2 + h2)1/2

Substituting all these values in the above equations, the electric field intensity E becomes

- Contribution along aρ due to symmetry adds up to zero.

- Therefore the final electric field intensity at point (0, 0, h) has only z component.

- As a → 0, the electric field intensity (E) also tends to zero i.e. E → 0

- Hence electric field intensity (E) at point (0, 0, h) is given as:
