This is a problem dealing with the surface charge density. Based on the given problem above, your charge is 8nc on a square plate of 22 cm x22 cm given that E = (surface charge density) / 2ε₀ so answer would be 8nc/22/22/2ε₀. Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field to the right (x>0) of the right face of the slab would be 8nc/22/22/2ε₀.
