A point charge qq is at the point x=0,y=0,z=0.x=0,y=0,z=0. An imaginary hemispherical surface is made by starting with a spherical surface of radius RR centered on the point x=0,y=0,z=0x=0,y=0,z=0 and cutting off the half in the region z<0.z<0.

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.
