SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the variable \( z \) from the electric field equations using given parameters: \( R = 0.13 \, m \), \( r = 0.026 \, m \), \( \sigma = 6.20 \times 10^{-12} \, C/m^2 \), and \( \epsilon = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, N \cdot m^2/C^2 \). The equation presented is \( \frac{6.20 \cdot 10^{-12} \, C/m^2}{8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} \, N \cdot m^2/C^2} \cdot \sqrt{(R^2 + z^2) - z} - \sqrt{(r^2 + z^2) - z} \). Participants noted the need for clearer notation and proper use of brackets to enhance readability and understanding of the equation.
