Electrostatics

Charge Q is applied to a circular disk of ebonite of radius a by rubbing it while it is rotating. In this way, the surface charge density becomes proportional to the radial distance from the centre. Show that the electric field strength on the axis of the disk at an axial distance h from the centre is given by
