In class this week we used the following expression a lot: dĒ = _¹ da. Which of Απεο 2 the following best characterizes what this actually is? This is the differential contribution to the electric field at some point in space due to the differential charge element, dq, as given by Coulomb's law. This is the energy stored in a differential piece of the electric field. This is rate at which the electric field is changing in space as charge changes. This is the contribution to the electric field due to one electron or proton in the charged object. None of the others is a valid explanation of the expression
