MCQ
Two parallel disks each having radius $R$ are separated by a distance $l$ . The surface charge densities are $\sigma $ and $-\sigma $ . The electric field at point $P$ , a large distance $r$ along the axis of the disks is 
  • A
    $\frac{{\sigma {R^2}l}}{{{\varepsilon _0}{r^3}}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{2\sigma {R^2}l}}{{{\varepsilon _0}{r^3}}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{\sigma {R^2}l}}{{4{\varepsilon _0}{r^3}}}$
  • $\frac{{\sigma {R^2}l}}{{2{\varepsilon _0}{r^3}}}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{{\sigma {R^2}l}}{{2{\varepsilon _0}{r^3}}}$
d
Consider system of two disks to be short dipole.

$\mathrm{dE}=\frac{2 \mathrm{kdp}}{\mathrm{r}^{3}}$

$\mathrm{dp}=\mathrm{dq} \ell=\sigma \mathrm{d} \mathrm{A} \ell$

$\mathrm{E}=\frac{2 \mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{r}^{3}} \int \mathrm{dp}=\frac{2 \mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{r}^{3}} \ell \sigma \mathrm{A}$

${\rm{E}} = \frac{{2\ell }}{{4\pi { \in _0}{{\rm{r}}^3}}}\sigma \pi {{\rm{R}}^2} = \frac{{\sigma \ell {{\rm{R}}^2}}}{{2{ \in _0}{{\rm{r}}^3}}}$
