How to derive Coulomb's Law using F=eE

[devious_]

I didn't know where else to post this, so sorry if this is the wrong subforum.

Anyway, I bought myself a physics textbook for self-teaching purposes. I decided to take a look at its Fields chapters, and now I know how to derive Coulomb's Law using F=eE and Φ=∫ E dS. Right, so how advanced is this stuff? I feel it's a little too much for a high school senior.

You are right, it is too much for your brain.

Refund it.

If you are comfortable around partial differential equations, go ahead!
Just for the record:
Partial differential equations are used A LOT in modern physics, it's an indispensable tool.

I still haven't finished multivariable calculus, but I will soon. I guess I'll come back to this book in a while.

Thanks
