spelling and capitalization by Mathprof

Type: Meta/Minor
Correction text:
This means that for a <<infinitesimal>> part dl', the charge per unit length is just $ \lambda$. Then, with the coordinate system setup in the figure
$\displaystyle \lambda(r')dl' = \lambda dx $
The vector setup is next and this is where practice is important. Try out different geometries and coordinate systems until your proficient. <<Remembering>> the convention that the prime vector is to the source point and the unprimed vector is to the field point, we get in <<Cartesian >>coordinates |

Thanks, spelling has been corrected.
