My text reads for Potential Due to a Collection Charges:
1/(4πє) ∑ q/r
Lets say you want to calculate the potential between two charges. Do you take the magnitude of the distance (r) or do you account for their direction of the charges with respect to the field point.
Based on the examples I have seen, i seems like i should use the magnitude. However, it seems more logical to account for direction.
