A nonconducting slab with volume charge density p has a finite thickness between z=−d and z=+d is infinite in the plane perpendicular to the z-axis. Enter the correct expression of the electric field inside and outside the slab. Express your answers in terms of p, d, z, and E0.

E = __________ z≤−d

E = __________ −d≤z≤+d

E = __________ z≥+d
