Module 4

Objectives:

After completing this module students will be able to use Coulomb's law and the principle of superposition to find the electric force charged objects exert on each other and to calculate the electric field due to various charge distributions.  They will be able to use Gauss' law to find the electric field of symmetric charge distributions,
