Question

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 1 (25%)
An infinite plane slab of thickness 2d (the slab is located between z=-d and z=d) carries
a uniform volume charge density p. Using the Gauss's law, find the electric field as a
function of z inside and outside the slab. Plot schematically the dependence of the electric
field as a function of z.
