Functions to get electrostatic fields from known solutions (infinite charged wires, infinite charge sheet) #67
Description
In addition to the Biot-Savart law solver proposed in #99 and other one in #100, we should have a way of calculating the electric fields resulting from simple charge distributions using Coulomb's Law. This would include the electric field from an finite/infinite linear charge (which has a simple exact solution) and the electric field resulting from an infinite sheet or dipole (which has a complicated exact solution) for boundary conditions at infinity. There might be other analytical solutions worth including, but these two are probably the most important ones.
