Dear student,

where Q is the total charge and R is the radius of the disk. A ring of thickness da centered on the disk as shown has differential area given by

and thus a charge given by

The field produced by this ring of charge is along the x-axis and is given by the previous result:

The total field is given by simply integrating over a from 0 to R

The integral is actually 'perfect' and is given by

After substituting the limits, we get the final result:
