Home Assignment - 1

The home assignment document contains 10 numerical questions regarding electric field intensity and Coulomb's law of force between point charges. Students are asked to calculate things like the force between two point charges located at different points in space, the electric field intensity at given points due to multiple point charges, and determining unknown point charges given the force experienced by another charge. The questions cover key concepts taught in the Electromagnetic Waves course such as deriving expressions for electric field intensity and force between point charges.
