Re: Fields



Jim,

Sounds imprecise, but not wrong. Force fields interact in the sense
that they are vector fields, so electric fields add like vectors at
any given point in space. Thus, electric fields from multiple sources
can reinforce or cancel each other at any given point in space.

Does it make any sense to say something like one electric field interacts
with another?
