##q \Delta V\ =\ E##
The Attempt at a Solution
(So, my answer is twice and large as the correct answer. This is the second time this has happened on a question like this . . .)
Since a negative charge would collect on the outside of the disk I began by analyzing one negative charge and treated it in equilibrium on the edge of the disk,
$$\begin{align}
q\vec v \times \vec B- \frac{|\vec E|}{d}\ &=\ 0 \\
qvB \ &=\ \frac{q \Delta V}{r} \\
vBr \ &=\ \Delta V
\end{align}$$
And since ##v\ =\ \omega r##:
$$\begin{align}
(\omega r)Br \ &=\ \Delta V \\
\Delta V \ =\ \epsilon \ &\approx\ 48.3\ V
\end{align}$$
Any help would be wonderful c:
