Homework Statement
Say I have a boundary between two dielectrics then it's easy to show using a gaussian pillarbox that:
D(1)-D(2)=free surface charge density=s
where D(1) is the component of the first medium normal to the surface.
But suppose that there's nothing else apart from two infinite dielectrics with a constant free charge density between then, how would I work out what the actual values of D(1) and D(2) are rather than just the difference?
The Attempt at a Solution
It seems reasonable that the D field should be the same on both sides so that D=s/2 but I'm not sure how I'd prove this?
Any help appreciated.
