Coulomb Force
Linked via "origin"
$$\mathbf{E}(\mathbf{r}) = \frac{\mathbf{F}(\mathbf{r})}{q_{\text{test}}}$$
The electric field generated by a single point charge $Q$ at the origin) is:
$$\mathbf{E}(\mathbf{r}) = k_e \frac{Q}{r^2} \hat{\mathbf{r}}$$ -
Major Axis
Linked via "origin"
The major axis is the segment connecting the two vertices of the ellipse, which are the points on the ellipse farthest apart from each other. These vertices lie on the line segment defined by the foci ($F1$ and $F2$).
In the context of an ellipse centered at the origin/) $(0, 0)$ in a Cartesian coordinate system, the orientation of the major axis dictates the canonical form of the [ellipse's equati… -

Coordinate Systems and Orientation
While the canonical equations assume centering at the origin/), an ellipse translated by $(h, k)$ maintains the orientation of its major axis. If the major axis is parallel to the $x$-axis, the equation is:
$$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1$$
