What is an electric field
1 answer
An electric field is a region of space around an electrically charged object or particle in which the influence of the charge can be felt by other charged objects or particles. The electric field is a vector field that has a magnitude and direction at each point in space, and describes the force that a charge would experience if it were placed at that point in the field. The electric field is created by the presence of a charged object, and can be represented mathematically by Coulomb's law.
