Question

Transcribed Image Text:A slab of insulating material has a thickness 2d and is
oriented so that it faces parallel to yz - plane and given
by planes x =d and x = -d it is treated to be infinite. A
charged slab has a charge density given as \rho (x) = \
rho 0 (x/d)^2 where \rho 0 is a positive constant. (a)
Why is the electric field E due to the slab x = 0? (b)
Using Gauss' law, find the electric field due to the slab (
magnitude and direction) at all points in space.
