Question
Consider a slab of charge of thickness d centered on the x axis. The slab has infinite extent in the y and z direction. The charge density is not uniform inside the slab. For -d/2 <(or equal) x < 0 the charge density is p(x) = p0(x + d/2 ) and for 0 <(or equal) x <(or equal) d/2 , p = p0( d/2 - x). There is no charge outside of the slab. Give your answers to the following questions in terms of p0,d,epsilon0 and x.
What is the electric field in the x direction at x = 0
and in the x direction for 0 <(or equal) x < d/2 ?
