Question

A flat slab of nonconducting material has thickness 2d2 d, which is small compared to its height and breadth. Define the xx axis to be along the direction of the slab's thickness with the origin at the center of the slab. If the slab carries a volume charge density ρE(x)=ρ0\rho_{\mathrm{E}}(x)=-\rho_0 in the region dx<0-d \leq x<0, and ρE(x)=+ρ0\rho_{\mathrm{E}}(x)=+\rho_0 in the region 0<x+d0<x \leq+d, determine the electric field E\overrightarrow{\mathbf{E}} regions (c) dx<0\text{(c) } -d \leq x<0. Let ρ0\rho_0 be a positive constant.

Suppose we have a very long slab, and it has a thickness of 2d2d and charge density ρE=ρ0\rho_E=-\rho_0 for d<x<0-d<x<0 and ρE=+ρ0\rho_E=+\rho_0 for 0<x<d0<x<d, we need to find the electric field for d<x<0-d<x<0, but first we need to draw a Gauss sphere (cylinder) inside the slab as shown in the figure:
