The ac response of a slab of material with electrodynamic characteristics $E\sim j^{\kappa+1}$, $\kappa\geq0$, is studied numerically. From the solutions of the nonlinear diffusion equation, the fundamental and higher-order components of the harmonic susceptibility are obtained. A large portion of the data for every $\kappa$ can be scaled by a single parameter, $\xi$ =$t^{1/(\kappa+2)}\cdot H_0^{\kappa/(\kappa+2)}/D$, where $t$ is the period of the ac field at the surface, $H_0$ is its amplitude and $D$ is the slab thickness. This is, however, only an approximate scaling property: The field penetration into a nonlinear medium is a more complex phenomenon than in the linear case. In particular, the susceptibility values are not uniquely defined by a set of only two parameters, such as $\kappa$ and $\xi$, while one parameter, i.e. $t^{1/2}$/D, is sufficient to describe the electrodynamic response of a linear medium.
