Choice of SystemMultiparticle systems: Split into objects to include into system and objects to be considered as external.
To use field concept instead of Coulombβs law we split the Universe into two parts:
β’ the charges that are the sources of the field
β’ the charge that is affected by that field

β’ Convenience: know E at some location β know the electric force on any charge:
Example: if E>3106 N/C air becomes conductorβ’ Retardation
Nothing can move faster than light cc = 300,000 km/s = 30 cm/ns
β’ Can describe the electric properties of matter in terms of electric field β independent of how this field was produced.
Coulombβs law is not completely correct β it does not contain time t nor speed of light c.
