Question

Paragraph A very long thick plate has a uniform positive volume charge density given by p(x)= p° for -d/2 < x < d/2 . where p° is a positive constant, d is the thickness of the plate and x = 0 is the centre of the plate. Q1) what is the symmetry of the electric field for this object ? Q2) how much charge is contained in a gaussian pillbox of cross sectional area A and thickness 2a , where a < d/2 ? a) p°Aa (b)2p°Aa (c)p°Aa/2 (d)4p°Aa Q3) use gauss law to find E(a) _____. Q4) how much charge is contained in a gaussian pillbox of surface area A and thickness 2a , where a > d/2 ?
