Explore your way — choose one:

Define the electric field as force per unit charge, calculate fields from point charges, and visualize using field lines.

Apply vector addition to find the net field from multiple charges and continuous charge distributions.

Relate potential to field, calculate potentials for point charges, and use energy conservation for charged particle motion.

Understand electric flux and apply Gauss's law to find fields for symmetric charge distributions.

Analyze the behavior of conductors in equilibrium and understand dielectric polarization in insulators.
