Homework Equations



E = σ/2ε0 (infinite sheet)
E = σ/2ε0(1 - z/(z^2 + R^2)^1/2) (charged disk)

The Attempt at a Solution



Is this the correct method below?

E = σ/2ε0 (infinite sheet) - [σ/2ε0(1 - z/(z^2 + R^2)^1/2)]

yes...just subtract the independent fields due to infinite plane and the disc at point P. your expression is alright.
