The moment of inertia of a uniform circular disc is maximum about an axis perpendicular to the disc and passing through

Moment of inertia of circular disc = 12mR2. M.I. about any axis perpendicular to plane isI=Icm+md2d is the distance of between the centre and the point of considerationThus, as the distance between the centre and the point increases, the moment of inertia increases.
