 This idea scales for as many moving charges as you have: This idea scales for as many moving charges as you have:
 $$\vec{B}_{total}=\vec{B}_1+\vec{B}_2+\vec{B}_3+\vec{B}_4+...$$ $$\vec{B}_{total}=\vec{B}_1+\vec{B}_2+\vec{B}_3+\vec{B}_4+...$$
-However, if you have both electric and magnetic fields you **cannot** just add together the magnetic and electric fields. These are different quantities with different units; therefore, they do not add together (this would be like trying to add time to mass - it's just not a thing you can do). +However, **if you have both electric and magnetic fields you //cannot// just add together the magnetic and electric fields.** These are different quantities with different units; therefore, they do not add together (this would be like trying to add time to mass - it's just not a thing you can do).
