Question
5) Gauss Law is only approximate for finite lines and sheets. In this section you will compare the results
of Gauss' Law, calculated for ideal symmetries, with exact calculations using Coulomb's Law. (If the
difference between Gauss' Law and exact calculation is less than 2%, it's “good enough for Physics 2 and
MasteringPhysics.")
a. Circular Disk: The electric field on the axis of a circular disk of charge density o is E,(z) =
