A disk of radius R with uniform positive charge density σ is placed on the xy plane with its center at the origin. The Coulomb potential along the z-axis is
V(z)=‌

2E0

(√R2+z2−z)
A particle of positive charge q is placed initially at rest at a point on the z axis with z=z0 and z0>0. In addition to the Coulomb force, the particle experiences a vertical force
