A large non-conducting slab of area A and thickness d has a charge density rho=Cx^4. The origin is through the center of the slab. That is to say, it bisects the slab into two equal volumes of d/2 thickness and with an area of A, with -d/2 to the left of x=0, and d/2 to the right of x=0. Express all answers in terms of C, x, and any known constants. Gaussian surface 1 (cylinder) is located such that its volume encompasses the charge contained within the slab. Apply Gauss's Law to cylinder 1 to determine the electric field to the left and to the right of the slab. Make sure you incude the domains over which the field is valid.
