Coulomb’s law

Coulomb’s law describes the force experienced by a test charge due to a single source charge.

where is the vector from to .1 The Principle of Superposition allows this to be generalised to a distribution of charge by

It quickly becomes pertinent to introduce the idea of the Electric field.
