-  * Classify fields as **homogeneous** (e.g., parallel-plate region) or **inhomogeneous** (e.g., point charge); state typical properties near **conductors** (perpendicular boundary, field-free interior in electrostatics). +  * State conductor boundary facts in electrostatics: $\vec{E}$ is **perpendicular** to conducting surfaces and the **interior is field-free**; surfaces are **equipotentials**.

   - **Homogeneous fields** (ideal between large parallel plates): parallel, equally spaced lines; **inhomogeneous fields** elsewhere (e.g., point charges, edges).   - **Homogeneous fields** (ideal between large parallel plates): parallel, equally spaced lines; **inhomogeneous fields** elsewhere (e.g., point charges, edges).
   - **Conductors (electrostatics)**: $\vec{E}$ is perpendicular to the surface; interior is field-free; surface charge arranges to enforce these conditions.   - **Conductors (electrostatics)**: $\vec{E}$ is perpendicular to the surface; interior is field-free; surface charge arranges to enforce these conditions.

 +  * **What field lines mean:** visual aid for $\vec{E}$. \\ they start on positive charge and end on negative charge; their **density** reflects the **magnitude** $|\vec{E}|$; arrows show the **force direction on a positive test charge**. Lines never intersect.
 +  * **Homogeneous vs. inhomogeneous:** between large, parallel plates the field is approximately uniform with $E=\frac{U}{d}$; \\ around localized or curved conductors and point charges the field varies with position (e.g. $|\vec{E}|\propto 1/r^2$ for a point charge).
 +  * **Conductors (electrostatics):** inside an ideal conductor $E=0$; surfaces are equipotentials; \\ $\vec{E}$ meets the surface **perpendicularly**; surface charge re-arranges to enforce these conditions and concentrates at sharp edges.
 +  * **Superposition:** total field is the vector sum of contributions from all charges; use it to construct patterns for dipoles and multi-charge systems.

 +===== Common pitfalls =====
 +  * Treating field lines as **charge paths**: they are drawings of direction/magnitude of $\vec{E}$, **not** particle trajectories.
 +  * Forgetting the **reference charge sign**: line arrows indicate the force on a **positive** test charge; forces on electrons point opposite to the arrows.
 +  * Mixing up **equipotentials** and field lines: equipotentials are everywhere **perpendicular** to field lines; they do **not** indicate current.
 +  * Assuming the plate field is always perfectly uniform: edge effects make real plate fields **inhomogeneous** away from the central region.
 +  * Ignoring conductor boundary conditions: in electrostatics the interior of a conductor is **field-free** and $\vec{E}$ is **normal** to the surface; any tangential $\vec{E}$ would drive charges until it vanishes.
 +  * Confusing $\vec{E}$ with $\vec{D}$: here we use $\vec{E}$ and **permittivity** $\varepsilon=\varepsilon_0\varepsilon_r$ for $|\vec{E}|=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon}\frac{|Q|}{r^2}$.
