The strength of an electric field depends on the **amount of charge that produces the field and on the distance from the charge**.
This is described by Coulomb's law, which states that the electric field (E) created by a point charge (Q) at a distance (r) from the charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the charge.
