An electric field can be created by a single charge or a distribution of charges. The electric field a distance from a point charge has magnitude E = k|q'|/r^2. The electric field points away from positive charges and toward negative charges. A distribution of charges creates an electric field that can be found by taking the vector sum of the fields created by individual point charges. Note that if a charge is placed in an electric field created by q',...

An electric field can be created by a single charge or a distribution of charges. The electric field a distance r from a point charge q' has magnitude {E}=k\frac{|q'|}{r^2}. The electric field points away from positive charges and toward negative charges. A distribution of charges creates an electric field that can be found by taking the vector sum of the fields created by individual point charges. Note that if a charge q is placed in an electric field created by...
