What about principle of superposition

Answer

The Principle of Superposition states that for a linear system, the net response caused by two or more stimuli is the sum of the responses that would have been caused by each stimulus individually.

In electromagnetism, this principle applies to electric fields and forces. If you have multiple charges, the total electric field at any point is the vector sum of the electric fields created by each individual charge at that point. Similarly, the net force on a charge due to multiple other charges is the vector sum of the forces exerted by each of those charges.

This principle simplifies complex problems by allowing us to break them down into simpler, individual interactions.
