Please provide a detailed step-by-step solution for the problem shown in the attached image. Thank you!
### Electric Field Calculation for a Ring

**If** 
\[ E = \frac{\rho_l a h a_z}{2 \varepsilon_0 [h^2 + a^2]^{3/2}} \]
for the ring below (radius of \( a \), at \( h \)),

**Tasks:**

**A)** Calculate the \( E \) (at \( h \)) of a disk with the radius of \( a \).

**B)** If \( a \rightarrow \infty \), what will be the \( E \) of the disk at the height of \( h \) and height of \(\infty\)?

**Help:** 
\[ \rho_l = \rho_s dr, \quad a \rightarrow r \]

#### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram shows a 3D coordinate system with a horizontal circular ring positioned within the xy-plane. The following elements are depicted:

- The **z-axis** is vertical and points upwards through the center of the ring.
- The **radius** \( a \) of the ring is shown in the xy-plane.
- A vector **\( R \)** points from a point on the ring to a point directly above or below on the z-axis.
- **\( h \)** is the height from the center of the ring to the point on the z-axis above it.
- The differential length element \( dl \) is indicated along the perimeter of the ring.
- The vector components \( dE \), \( dE_z \), and \( dE_\rho \) are shown:
  - \( dE \) represents the differential electric field vector at a point.
  - \( dE_z \) is the z-component of \( dE \).
  - \( dE_\rho \) is the radial component of \( dE \).
- \( \alpha \) is the angle between \( dE \) and the components, indicating their projections on the z and radial directions. 

This setup is used to derive or calculate the electric field at different heights from the ring or disk, based on symmetries and integration over differential elements.
