A charged object whose mass is negligible compared to nearby objects, treating all its mass as concentrated at one point.
B
A charged object whose size is negligible compared to its separation from others, treating all charge as concentrated at one point.
C
A charged object whose size is significant compared to its separation from others, treating charge as spread uniformly across its surface.
