The correct answer is Ez = kqz / (z^2+a^2)^3/2
The expression of the electric field is,
E=kq / r^2
Here, r is the distance and its value is √z²+a²
Substituting the value of r in the above expression.
E = kq / (√z²+a²)^2
The expression of the electric field along the z-direction is given by,
dEz=dEcos
Here, the value of the cosine function is z / √z²+a²
On integrating the above expression and substituting the value
Ez = Ecosθ
Ez = kq / √z²+a²^2 * z / √z²+a²
Ez = kqz / (z^2+a^2)^3/2
