Presentation of the teaching unit

Starting from qualitative facts, which are already familiar to students studying post-compulsory secondary education, the unit aims to introduce enough laws and mathematical definitions for the student to be able to carry out calculations and predictions about the electric field created by one or several charged particles, as well as their effects on other particles.
