Question
**Transcription for Educational Website**

---

In Fig. 23-45, a small circular hole of radius \( R = 1.80 \, \text{cm} \) has been cut in the middle of an infinite, flat, nonconducting surface that has uniform charge density \( \sigma = 4.50 \, \text{pC/m}^2 \). A z-axis, with its origin at the hole's center, is perpendicular to the surface. In unit-vector notation, what is the electric field at point \( P \) at \( z = 2.56 \, \text{cm} \)? 
**Hint:** See Eq. 22-26 and use superposition.

---

**Explanation of Diagram**

The diagram accompanying the text is labeled as "Figure 23-45." It illustrates a flat surface with a series of small x marks indicating the uniform charge distribution on the surface. In the middle of this surface is a circular area labeled as a hole, marked \( O \). From this central hole, an axis labeled "z" extends perpendicularly upward. At a distance along the z-axis, there is a point labeled \( P \).

The visual representation is meant to assist in understanding the problem stated: the calculation of the electric field at a point above a charged surface with a central cut-out area, using the principle of superposition and relevant equations.
