Physics

A charge of -5.50nC is spread uniformly over the surface of oneface of a nonconducting disk of radius 1.00cm

Part A

Find the magnitude of the electric field this disk produces at apoint P on the axis of the disk a distance of 3.00cm fromits center.

Part B

Suppose that the charge were all pushed away from the center anddistributed uniformly on the outer rim of the disk. Find themagnitude of the electric field at point P.

Part C

If the charge is all brought to the center of the disk, find themagnitude and direction of the electric field at pointP.

Part D

Why is the field in part (a) stronger than the field in part(b)?

Part E

Why is the field in part (c) the strongest of the threefields?
