Homework Statement
Four electrons are released onto a thin aluminum disc of diameter 10𝑚𝑚. If the disc is initially neutral, calculate the electric potential at the center of the disc and the energy stored in the disc.
Relevant Equations
V = kQ/r
Not sure how the problem set up initially as no diagram was provided in the question. Please help me to start with the solution. Your assumptions and educated guess are appreciated.
