Problem

Find the potential on the rim of a uniformly charged disk (radius RR, charge density σ\sigma). [Hint: First show that V=k(σR/πϵ0)V = k(\sigma R/\pi\epsilon_0), for some dimensionless number kk, which you can express as an integral. Then evaluate kk analytically, if you can, or by computer.]
