Thus, E^2=(1/2)(KQ/r^2)^2

I'll try and make it more readable: E²=(1/2)(KQ/r²)²

I am interested in how you came to the conclusion that the charge of an electron originates at a spherical surface.

How did you put the squares up in this forum?

Click the quote button and look at the text. you use the sup and /sup tags on each side of the sup. In some forums that automatically changes the font of the sup character to a smaller size also. I think this forum keeps the same font size.

Edit: Now that I look again I see that this forum also changes the font size of the sup character. But; it seems to only do it in the quoted text.

Thanks for the info Vern. I see that I can do it for a new entry. Sometimes I only get the short response which does not have the above symbols. How can you get rid of the short response and get the whole keyboard symbols without hitting reply.

It depends a lot on how the BB is set up. The BB text function allows selected html tags to convert to BB tags. So if they allow font tags we could say [font size="1"]^{and get this} and then this[/font] and then back to normal.

Edit: Seems that font tags are not converted.

I think I got it now. I was in "quick reply" but the minute I started to type a few words, I hit preview and then it got me out of quick reply and gave me the BB codes. So now I know how to do it.
