- Stokes's theorem for the electric field.
- Brief introduction to the Ohm's law.
- Applications of the Gauss's law: Electric field generated by a wire (linear charge),
by a sheet of charge and by a plane capacitor.
- Potential generated by N point-like charges.
- Poisson's equation [Jackson, Sec. 1.7].
- Energy density of the electric field [Jackson, Sec. 1.11].
