22.51 • CALC A Nonuniformly Charged Slab. A slab of insulating
material has thickness 2d and is oriented so that its faces are par-
allel to the yz-plane and given by the planes x = d and x = -d.
The y- and z-dimensions of the slab are very large compared to
d, so treat them as infinite. The slab has charge density given by
P(x) = Po(x/d), where po is a positive constant. Using Gauss's law,
find the electric field due to the slab (magnitude and direction) at all
points in space.
