Problem21 p102

This document discusses the electric field and force between two charged disks. 1) The electric field E(x) between two disks with radii R1 and R2 and charge σ is proportional to (1/R1 - 1/R2)/x for points sufficiently close to the disks. 2) The force F on a charge q in this electric field is proportional to (1/R1 - 1/R2) and the frequency of oscillation f of the charge is directly proportional to the same term.
