Thank you for correcting my math, Liz--I've always counted on the kindness of strangers.

Extra points question: Is the field Solon described conservative? Or liberal?

As it relates to Coulomb's Law, the field Solon described is a conservative field since a potential energy is associated with it. I've never heard a field described as "liberal"-- I believe they are described as being either "conservative" or "nonconservative". BWDIK.
