FIGURE P24.48 shows two very large slabs of metal that are parallel and distance l apart. The top and bottom of each slab has surface area A. The thickness of each slab is so small in comparison to its lateral dimensions that the surface area around the sides is negligible. Metal 1 has total charge Q₁= Q and metal 2 has total charge Q₂= 2Q. Assume Q is positive. In terms of Q and A, determine

a. The electric field strengths E₁ to E₅ in regions 1 to 5.b. The surface charge densities η_a to η_d on the four surfaces a to d.
