Electrical fields

An electric field is an invisible area around a charged object where it can exert a force on other charges. Think of it as a kind of "influence zone" that extends outward, affecting other particles nearby. The strength of this field depends on the amount of charge and distance: closer charges create stronger fields. Electric fields are responsible for many phenomena, like how static electricity shocks you or how electricity powers devices. They are fundamental to understanding how charges interact and how electrical energy is transferred through circuits and around charged objects.
