Electric Field

An electric field is a way to describe the influence an electrically charged object has on its surroundings, particularly how it can exert forces on other charges nearby. Imagine it as an invisible force field that surrounds a charge; the strength and direction of this field determine how other charges will move or feel attraction or repulsion. The electric field exists all around charged objects, even when no other charges are present, and it explains how forces act at a distance without physical contact. Its intensity varies with distance and the amount of charge creating it.
