| - | where $\vec{E}_1$ would be the electric field from one point charge, $\vec{E}_2$ would be the electric field from a second point charge, and so on. For this week, we will focus on superposition of point charges and how we can model a line of charge using points. (Next week we will use the idea of superposition to model a continuous line of charge and other distribution of charges.) | + | where $\vec{E}_1$ would be the electric field from one point charge, $\vec{E}_2$ would be the electric field from a second point charge, and so on.
