The surface charge density σ of a non conducting disc of radius 'R' varies as σ = b r , where b is a positive constant and r is the distance from the centre of the disc.
Find the electric field caused by the disc at a point along the axis of the disc and a distance x from its centre.
Details and assumptions :
Find the absolute value of electric field at distance in SI units.
R = x = 1 m
b = 1 0 − 9 m 3 C
4 π ϵ 0 1 = 9 × 1 0 9 C 2 N m 2
ϵ 0 is permittivity of free space.
Round off your answer to the nearest integer.
I Would advice not to use wolfram alpha for performing integration as it would be a nice exercise to evaluate that integral with hand

exactly same!!!
2 × k × π × ∫ 0 x ( r 2 + x 2 ) 3 / 2 r × b r d r = 1 0 at x = 1
did same (+1)!....nice problem bro!!

How did gauss helped us here? I didn't found anywhere. I just used basic Electric field definition and integrated. Can you please help?
The electric field due to charged ring is
E = 4 π ϵ 0 ⋅ ( z 2 + r 2 ) 2 3 q z
So for a disk we have to integrate it over radius R
d E = 4 π ϵ 0 ⋅ ( z 2 + r 2 ) 2 3 z σ 2 π r d r
E = ∫ 0 R d E = ∫ 0 R 4 π ϵ 0 ⋅ ( z 2 + r 2 ) 2 3 z b r ⋅ 2 π r d r
E = 4 π ϵ 0 z b ⋅ 2 π ∫ 0 R ( z 2 + r 2 ) 2 3 r 2 d r
Taking R = 1 , 4 π ϵ 0 1 = 9 × 1 0 9 , b = 1 0 − 9 and z = 1 we get
E = 1 8 π ∫ 0 1 ( r 2 + 1 ) 2 3 r 2 d r
So the answer is 1 0
thumbs up to u bro.. great problem!!!!
