Consider the field due to a uniformly
charged disk of radius R and charge Q. Along
the symmetry axis at distance z from the cen-
ter, the field has been written in following
forms.

To compare the accuracy of different ap-
proximations it is convenient to work with
the normalized difference to be specified
below. The nth order smallness is charac-
terized by e" and € = 3 with e being the
smallness parameter. In general the nth or-
der term takes the form Ce", where C is some
finite constant (e.g 0.1
P1.30. Electric force on a test charge in the field of six point charges. Six point
charges, each of value Q, are situated at (d, 0,0), (-d, 0, 0), (0, d, 0), (0, –d, 0),
(0, 0, d), and (0,0, –d). A test charge q located at the origin is displaced by a
distance A < d along the positive x-axis. Find an approximate expression for
the electric force acting on the charge.
Two charges of magnitude Qı=3×10² C and Q2= -10 C are placed at the
points P(1, 2, 3) and Q(2, 0, 5) in vacuum. Compute the force on Q2 due to Qı.
