Hi Ken, Adam, et.al.
If the most basic, fundamental definitions used in TC work really seem
meaningless or confusing, perhaps I could recommend an excellent high school
level physics text, such as:
"Basic Physics" by Dr. Alexander Efron, John F. Rider Pub., NY 1957, especially
Chapter 17 on Electrostatics. It has many good, clear simple illustrations and
is written at a Flesch-Kincade level of 8.8 - 9.2.

Cheers,
Matt D.
PS "Doc Ef" was also a good teacher)
