Repeat Problem 59 for the case where the charge density in the slab is given by ? = ?₀ |x/d|, where ?₀ is a constant.

Data From Problem 59

A charged slab extends infinitely in two dimensions and has thickness d in the third dimension, as shown in Fig. 21.36. The slab carries a uniform volume charge density r. Find expressions for the electric field (a) inside and (b) outside the slab, as functions of the distance x from the center plane. (Although the infinite slab is impossible, your answer is a good approximation to the field of a finite slab whose width is much greater than its thickness.)
