The electric field is a fundamental concept in physics, representing the region around a charged object where electric forces can influence other charged particles.
It is characterized by the direction and strength of the forces exerted on positively or negatively charged objects within the field.
Electric fields are visualized using lines of force, indicating the field’s intensity and direction. In electromagnetism, electric fields are associated with the flow of electric charge.
Understanding electric fields is essential for explaining electrical interactions and is foundational in various scientific, engineering, and technological applications.
