That's good xD

In physics class we had to field or vector diagrams for different combinations of charges--I don't think I'm comfortable with those so can I ask a couple question about this? :

The black color is a field diagram
The colored is one vector

>For field diagrams, we learned that "the number of lines leaving a positive charge or approaching a negative charge is proportional (but not equal to!) the magnitude of the charge". So that just means that every ball of charge is proportional? And the diagram I drew is fine in that respect because every circle of charge is just one charge and has five lines coming out/going to it?
>The teacher also said something about how in field diagrams, the distance between lines mattered. Does that mean something like this is wrong for being too sparse or incomplete?


>When I draw vectors, should I be thinking: Here's what charge circle no. 1 is doing as a vector...here's what charge circle no. 2 is doing...here's what charge circle no. 3 is doing..now I add them all up for a vector?
>When is a vector diagram complete?
