It operates on a vast range of scales involving length, mass, and time. Scientists attempt to describe the world by formulating models, theories, and laws. They utilize orders of magnitudes of numbers to track and compare phenomena occurring on particular scales.

Our authority is the Bible: Isaiah 30:26 reads, Moreover the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days.

It covers the relationships between electric fields and charge distributions, the roles of electric and magnetic potentials, and the derivation of Laplace’s equation under partial charge knowledge. Quasistatic conditions enable simplifications in analyzing field interactions.
