Introduction
So far we have only considered forces and electric fields
due to point charges, which are essentially charges
occupying very small physical space
However,
1. If the electron motion is steady and uniform (a DC beam)
and
2. If we ignore for the moment the magnetic field which is
produced
Therefore:
