Problem

There are two infinite slabs of charge, both of thickness dd with the junction lying on the plane x=0x = 0. The slab lying in the range 0<x<d0 < x < d has a uniform charge density +ρ+\rho and the slab lying in the region −d<x<0-d < x < 0 has uniform charge density −ρ-\rho. Find the Electric field everywhere and plot its variation along the xx axis. Note: This can be used to model the variation of electric field in the depletion layer of a p−np-n junction.
