Question Image

Let us subdivide the disc into thin concentric rings of width dr each. Charge on one such element ring of radius r is dq =σ(2πrdr)

Field at P due to this element ring is

dE=14πε0xdqx2+r232=σx2εordrx2+r232E=σx2ε00Rrdrx2+r232

=σx4εo2x2+r20R Putting x2+r2=t2

=σx2εo1x1R2+x2=σ2εo1xR2+x2

Putting x = 0 gives the field at the centre of the disc , 

Eo=σ2εo

Hence, E(R)=Eo1120.3Eo
