Review of capacitors and solving of classic problems. Typo alert: I initially made a mistake (that I eventually caught) and the formula should be E_cap = V_cap/d.

Clarification of what electric potential is and why we need this quantity to be able to apply Conservation of Energy to moving charged particles.

Definition of an electric field, discussion of field lines for point charges, formula for the electric field of a point charge, and definition of the electric force. Practice solving classic problems with the principle of superposition and multiple point charges, along with the slice and dice method (integrating Coulomb's Law over a continuous charge distribution).

Definition of electric flux, conditions under which the flux can be simplified to EA cos(theta) and link to application of Gauss's Law. Illustration on two classic problems to cover cylindrical symmetry and spherical symmetry.
