The surface charge density of a circular disk is given by the following relationship:

σ = $\frac{Q}{\pi*R^{2}}$ -- (A)

Where,

σ = Surface charge density.
Q = Charge on the surface
R = Radius of the circular disk.

Now according to the above equation, we can infer:
1) Surface charge density σ is directly proportional to the Charge Q on the surface of the disk.
2) Surface charge density σ is inversely proportional to the square of Radius R of the circular disk.

As the charge is 24nC on the circular disk, and there is no evidence of charge being changed in the question, I would assume that the charge is constant.

Let's apply the condition:
If R = 2R(if the radius of the disk is made doubled)

Plug in the value in (A):
A => σ(new) = $\frac{Q}{\pi*(2R)^{2}}$

Therefore,
σ(new) = $\frac{Q}{\pi*4*R^{2}}$

Hence,
σ(new) = (1/4)σ

Conclusion:
If the Radius of the disk is doubled, the new surface charge density would become one-fourth of the old surface charge density. Hence,

σ(new) = $( \frac{1}{4})( \frac{24nC}{cm^{2}} )$

Ans: σ(new) = 6nC/ $cm^{2}$

-i

Answer from: katzLovez

6 nC / cm^2

Justification:

1) Keeping the same charge (constant charge) the charge density is inversely realted to the surface.

=> charge density = A / surface

where A is a constant

2) Surface is prortional to square of the radius, so the charge density is inversely related to the square of the radius:

=> charge density = B / (radius)^2

where B is a constant

3) this shows that if the radius is doubled the density falls to 1/4:

charge density = B / (2* radius)^2 = B / [ 4*(radius)^2 ] = (1/4) B / (radius)^2

Conclusion: when the radius is doubled the density charge falls to one quarter.

=> [24 nC/cm^2 ] / 4 => 6nC / cm^2.

Search coils and credit cards. one practical way to measure magnetic field strength uses a small, closely wound coil called a search coil. the coil is initially held with its plane perpendicular to a magnetic field. the coil is then either quickly rotated a quarter-turn about a diameter or quickly pulled out of the field. (a) derive the equation relating the total charge q that flows through a search coil to the magnetic-field magnitude b. the search coil has n turns, each with area a, and the flux through the coil is decreased from its initial maximum value to zero in a time ∆t. the resistance of the coil is r, and the total charge is q = i∆t, where i is the average current induced by the change in flux. (b) in a credit card reader, the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card is rapidly “swiped” past a coil within the reader. explain, using the same ideas that underlie the operation of a search coil, how the reader can decode the information stored in the pattern of magnetization on the strip. (c) is it necessary that the credit card be “swiped” through the reader at exactly the right speed? why or why not?
