Question

(Figure 1)A slab of insulating material of uniform thickness d, lying between -d/2 to +d/2 along the x axis, extends infinitely in the y and z directions, as shown in the figure. The slab has a uniform charge density The electric field is zero in the middle of the slab, at Part C What is Eout, the magnitude of the electric field outside the slab? As implied by the fact that Eout is not given as a function of x, this magnitude is constant everywhere outside the slab, not just at the surface Express your answer in terms of d, p, and E0 View Available Hint(s) Figure 1 of 2 dp Submit ious Ans X Incorrect; Try Again; no points deducted The correct answer does not depend on: dp x=+d/2 Part D This question will be shown after you complete previous question(S). x =-d/2

Explanation / Answer

The magnitude of the electric field outside the slab is given by:

E = / 2

where = * d/2, or

E = d / 4

Hope this helps :)
