A thick slab of charge of uniform charge density p lies between -d/2 d/2. Sketch a plot of |E(r)| vs. z. Compare your answer to that already determined (in class) for the electric field generated by an infinitely wide sheet of surface charge density σ.

Transcribed Image Text:A thick slab of charge of uniform charge density p lies between -d/2<z <d/2. The
charge extends to ±∞ in the x- and y-directions. Use Gauss' Law to determine the
electric field, E(r), for z <-d/2, -d/2 < z <d/2 and z > d/2.
Sketch a plot of |E(r)| vs. z.
Compare your answer to that already determined (in class) for the electric field generated
by an infinitely wide sheet of surface charge density σ.
