7.6 Exercise 30

Avg difficulty 2.5

A CD disk of radius (R=3.0cmR = 3.0 \text{cm}) is sprayed with a charged paint so that the charge varies continually with radial distance r from the center in the following manner: σ=−(6.0C/m)r/R\sigma = - \left(6.0 \text{C}/\text{m}\right) r / R.

Find the potential at a point 4 cm above the center.
