1) Let me add the obvious; the value of G changes
gradually from 1/(2*Pi) to 1/(4*Pi*) when the distance
is increasing. The first value is for a very large flat
metallic disk, where sigma=Q/(2*Pi*R^2). The second
is for a point charge (the disk seen from "infinity").
2) The formula for S(r) is intuitively acceptable but
how do you justify it formally, Leigh? There may be
many even functions with a minimum at r=0.
The
sharpness of the disk edges will probably play a
very significant role in the S(r) distribution.
