- The charge distributions we have seen so far have been discrete: made up of individual point particles. This is in contrast with a continuous charge distribution, which has at least one nonzero dimension. I was reading this and feel a little confused I know what both discrete and continous quantities mean continous quantities are like mass, distance, which can take a continous range of values.
