Summing over indices using symsum

I am trying to calculate electric field at position due to charges
, at positions .
The equation is .
If I can figure out how to for example just get this sum , I would be able to figure out the equation for the electric field. I tried
u=symunit;
syms k
e0=8.854E-12*(u.s)^4*(u.A)^2/((u.kg)*(u.m)^3);
Q1=10E-9*(u.C);
Q2=15-9*(u.C);
Q3=7E-9*(u.C);
r1=[1 4 2]*1E-3*(u.m);
r2=[-2 0 5]*1E-3*(u.m);
r3=[-1 -2 3]*1E-3*(u.m);
r=[5 5 5]*1E-3*(u.m);
Q=symsum(Qk,k,1,3)
That obviously didn't work. Is there a way to make it work with 'symsum'?

If you have somehow created a list of numbered variables that is too long to make it practical to put them into a list by name, then what you should do is...

Note that the sum isn't just over Q, but rk as well
(Without syms and symunit but values according SI units)
e0=8.854E-12;
Q=[10E-9 15E-9 7E-9];
R=[1 4 2;-2 0 5;-1 -2 3]*1E-3;
r=[5 5 5]*1E-3;
r0=vecnorm(r-R,2,2).^3;
out=sum(Q.*(r-R)./(4*pi*e0*r0),1)

u=symunit;
Q(1)=10E-9*(u.C);
Q(2)=15E-9*(u.C);
Q(3)=7E-9*(u.C);
Qsum = sum(Q)

Q(1)=10E-9*(u.C);
Q(2)=15E-9*(u.C);
Q(3)=7E-9*(u.C);
rk(1,:)=[1 4 2]*1E-3*(u.m);
rk(2,:)=[-2 0 5]*1E-3*(u.m);
rk(3,:)=[-1 -2 3]*1E-3*(u.m);
r=[5 5 5]*1E-3*(u.m);
Qsum = zeros(1,3);
for k = 1:3
Qsum = Qsum + Q(k)*(r-rk(k,:))/(norm(r-rk(k,:)))^3;
end
Qsum = Qsum/(4*pi*e0);
simplify(Qsum.')
Data = separateUnits(Qsum.');
double(Data)

You cannot use a symbolic variable as an index.
I think it is unlikely that it will ever be supported to use symbolic variables as indices.
Create the definite values and sum() the definite values.
