A result for the Coulomb electrostatic energy of a uniformly charged disk

Closed-form expressions of the Coulomb electrostatic potential created by a uniformly charged disk at some arbitrary point in space are readily available. We rely on one of these expressions to provide the simplest possible derivation of the Coulomb electrostatic energy of a uniformly charged disk....

Summary:Closed-form expressions of the Coulomb electrostatic potential created by a uniformly charged disk at some arbitrary point in space are readily available. We rely on one of these expressions to provide the simplest possible derivation of the Coulomb electrostatic energy of a uniformly charged disk.
