Explanation / Answer

given, Q1 = -6.9 nC

Q2 = Q3 = 8.06 nC

radius of each disc, r = 2.1 cm = 0.021 m

a. to find surface charge density

sigma1 = Q1/pir^2 = -4.982*10^-6 C/m^2

sigma2 = Q2/pir^2 = 5.820*10^-6 C/m^2

sigma3 = Q3/pi*r^2 = Q2/pi*r2 = sigma2 = 5.820*10^-6 C/m^2

b. Now, electric field on a disc of charge density sigma, at a point on its axis, distance d form it is given by

E = sigma*2kpi[1 - d/sqroot(d^2 + r^2)]

so electric field at point A

Ea = -sigma1*2k*pi[1 - d/sqroot(d^2 + r^2)] - sigma*2k*pi[1 - (d+L)/sqroot((d+L)^2 + r^2)] - sigma*2k*pi[1 - (d + 2L)/sqroot((d+ 2L)^2 + r^2)]

Now, L = 5*10^-6 m

d = 2*10^-6 m

Ea = (4.981*10^-6 - 5.818*10^-6 - 5.8166*10^-6)*2*pi*k = -375229.9692 N/C

Eb = sigma1*2k*pi[1 - (L -d)/sqroot((L - d)^2 + r^2)] - sigma*2k*pi[1 - (d)/sqroot((d)^2 + r^2)] - sigma*2k*pi[1 - (d + L)/sqroot((d+ L)^2 + r^2)]

Eb = (-4.9812*10^-6 - 5.279*10^-6 - 5.818*10^-6)*2*pi*k

Eb = -906720.4421 N/C

Ec = sigma1*2k*pi[1 - (2L -d)/sqroot((2L - d)^2 + r^2)] + sigma*2k*pi[1 - (L - d)/sqroot((L - d)^2 + r^2)] - sigma*2k*pi[1 - (d)/sqroot((d)^2 + r^2)]

Ec = (-4.9801*10^-6 + 5.8191*10^-6 - 5.279*10^-6)*2*pi*k

Ec = -250391.136 N/C
