The surface charge density of a thin charged disc of radius $R$ is $\sigma$. The value of the electric field at the centre of the disc is $\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$. With respect to the field at the centre,the electric field along the axis at a distance $R$ from the centre of the disc:

  • A
    reduces by $70.7\%$
  • B
    reduces by $29.3\%$
  • C
    reduces by $9.7\%$
  • D
    reduces by $14.6\%$
