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.

Both cylinders have the same volume charge density of +ρ. Using Gauss’s Law, find the electric field as a function of r (where r= 0 at the central axis) in the interval a≤r < b.

Charge is distributed throughout a very long cylindrical volume of radius R such that the charge density increases with the distance r from the central axis of the cylinder according to p=ar , where a is a constant.
