Chapter 22, Problem 46P
(III) A flat slab of nonconducting material (Fig. 22–40) carries a uniform charge per unit volume, ρE. The slab has thickness d which is small compared to the height and breadth of the slab. Determine the electric field as a function of x (a) inside the slab and (b) outside the slab (at distances much less than the slab’s height or breadth). Take the origin at the center of the slab.

47. (III) A flat slab of nonconducting material has thickness 2d,
which is small compared to its height and breadth. Define
the x axis to be along the direction of the slab's thickness
with the origin at the center of the slab (Fig. 22-41).
