Answer :
The correct realistic problem for the given equation is problem 1.
We know that,
Electric field of a charged disc at a distance along its axis is given by,
E = σ / 2 ε ( 1 - x / √ ( [tex]x^{2}[/tex] + [tex]r^{2}[/tex] ) )
Electric field at the centre of a charged disc is given by,
[tex]E_{c}[/tex] = σ / 2 ε ( Since at centre, x = 0 )
Distance along the axis of a charged disk, where electric field strength's value is half its value at the center of the disk.
[tex]E_{x}[/tex] = [tex]E_{c}[/tex] / 2
σ / 2 ε ( 1 - x / √ ( [tex]x^{2}[/tex] + [tex]r^{2}[/tex] ) ) = ( σ / 2 ε ) / 2
x / √ ( [tex]x^{2}[/tex] + [tex]r^{2}[/tex] ) = 1 / 2
4 [tex]x^{2}[/tex] = [tex]x^{2}[/tex] + [tex]r^{2}[/tex]
3 [tex]x^{2}[/tex] = [tex]r^{2}[/tex]
x = r / √ 3 ,which is the correct distance, when magnitude is half its value from centre.
Electric field is a field that surrounds electrically charged particles that exerts force on other charged particles in the field.
Therefore, the given equation is suitable for Electric field of a charged disc at a distance along its axis where electric field strength's value is half its value at the center of the disk.
