Length
Length is one of the basic dimensions used to measure an object.

Shape
The shape of an object is a description of space that the object takes up; the shape can change if the object is deformed.

Volume
Volume is a measure of the three-dimensional space an object occupies, usually taken in terms of length, width and height.

Stress and Strain
A point charge creates an electric field that can be calculated using Coulomb's Law.
