A total charge Q is uniformly distributed, with surface charge density, over a very thin disk of radius R. The electric field at a distance d along the disk axis is given by E where n is a normal unit vector perpendicular to the disk. What is the best approximation for the electric field magnitude E at large distances from the disk?
