 +Conceptual questions: 
 +  - What should the E-field look like for a positive storm cloud? What about a negative cloud? 
 +  - How do you know if your code is working right? 
 +  - What happens to your arrows if you change different parameters in the code? (e.g. cloud height, cloud charge, etc.) 
 +  - How big is the E-field below the cloud? Is that large/small/normal for an E-field? 
 +  - What direction does the separation vector point? What about the E-field? 
 +  - What assumptions did you need to make to simplify this problem?
