Continuous Charge Distributions

The video tutorial explains the concept of continuous charge distribution, which is a charge spread over a shape rather than a point. It covers how to find the electric field around such distributions using Coulomb's law and the principle of superposition. The tutorial also reviews the calculation of electric fields from point charges and introduces the concept of charge densities, including linear, surface, and volumetric densities.
