A thin disc of radius \(b = 2a\) has a concentric hole of radius \('a'\) in it (see figure). It carries uniform surface charge \('\sigma '\) on it. If the electric field on its axis at height \('h'\) \((h << a)\) from its centre is given as \('Ch'\) then value of \('C'\) is

Answer & Solution
(A) \(\frac{\sigma }{{4a{ \in _0}}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(E_{1}=\frac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\left[1-\frac{x}{\sqrt{R^{2}+x^{2}}}\right]\)
\(E_{1}=\frac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\left[1-\frac{h}{\sqrt{4 a^{2}+h^{2}}}\right]\)
\( = \frac{\sigma }{{2{\varepsilon _0}}}\left[ {1 - \frac{h}{{2a}}} \right]\)
\(\left[ \begin{gathered}
{\text{ here }}x = h{\text{ }} \hfill \\
{\text{and }},R = 2a \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \right]\)
Similarly, electric field due to disc \((R=a)\)
\(E_{2}=\frac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\left(1-\frac{h}{a}\right)\)
Electric field due to given disc \(E=E_{1}-E_{2}\)
\(\frac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\left[1-\frac{h}{2 a}\right]-\frac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\left[1-\frac{h}{a}\right]-\frac{\sigma h}{4 \varepsilon_{0} a}\)
Hence, \(c=\frac{\sigma}{4 a \varepsilon_{0}}\)
