| - | ===Assumptions=== | ||
| - | * Point charge assumption: Necessary to use E-Field equation. | ||
| - | * Constant charge: Makes charge in E-field equation not dependent on time or space as no information is given in problem suggesting so. | ||
| - | * Charge is not moving: This makes our separation vector fixed in time as a moving charge would have a changing separation vector with time. | ||
