Electric Fields

Electric fields are invisible regions around charged objects that exert forces on other charges within the field. Picture them as the "influence" of a charged balloon; if you bring another balloon close, it either attracts or repels due to this field. In electromagnetism, moving charges create magnetic fields, linking electricity and magnetism. In electrostatics, stationary charges generate electric fields that can store energy and influence nearby charges. Electric fields also play a crucial role in electromagnetic waves, such as light, where changing electric and magnetic fields propagate energy through space. They are fundamental to understanding electricity, circuits, and many technologies.
