The code below is the beginnings of your team's work on modeling the electric field from the giant T. Complete the program above to first represent the total electric field just to the right and left of the line of charges. Then, calculate the total electric field at a range of points surrounding the line of charges. | The code below is the beginnings of your team's work on modeling the electric field from the giant T.
