difference between discrete and continuous charge distribution?

Discrete systems are those systems in which are made up of finite component particles a which are non-homogeneously arranged such that no smooth variation exists. It is such that all constituent particles have properties which vary randomly. They are direct opposite to continuous systems, which are smooth arrangement of particles which cannot be individually taken into consideration.

The difference between discrete and continuous charge distribution is

Discrete systems are arranged in a non-homogeneous manner, while the continuous charge distribution are arranged in an orderly and smooth way

A Discrete continuous charge distribution is one where an electric field which is formed by two different charges are the same with the sum of the ones created by only one electric field. These occur at specific locations and are arranged randomly.

A Continuous charge distribution is one in which the electric charge are either positive or negative and occur in different forms. They are arranged homogeneously.
