Abstract
Our objective in Chapters 2 to 5 is to set the stage for our study of magneto-fluid-dynamic phenomena. Here we think about electric fields in simple cases: for the moment there are no magnetic fields, and no moving conductors. We present an Example and a Case Study: the first concerns a proton beam, and the second the electrostatic potential at the surface of the Sun.
