    Do you integrate a variable charge density when solving for Q?

    For example, let's say there was an block infinitely long in the x and y direction and in the z direction bounded by positive and negative a. I am trying to find the charge of a imaginary partition infinitely long in the x and y direction and in the z direction bounded by positive and...

    Integrate sinx/x using fourier transform?

    I learned how to integrate it using the complex plane and semi circle contours but I was wondering if there is a way using Fourier transforms. I know that the Fourier transform of the rectangle wave form is the sinc function so I was thinking maybe i could do an inverse Fourier on sinc x and get...
