electric field, an electric property associated with each point in space when charge is present in any form. The magnitude and direction of the electric field are expressed by the value of E, called electric field strength or electric field intensity or simply the electric field.
An electric field is an invisible force field caused by an electric charge. It is an alteration in the space (air or vacuum) around the charge. It results in an electric force that is felt by electric charges when placed close to one another.
An electric field is defined mathematically as a vector field that can be associated with each point in space, the force per unit charge exerted on a positive test charge at rest at that point. The formula of the electric field is given as, E = F / Q. Where, E is the electric field. F is the force. Q is the charge.
An electric field is a region of space around an electrically charged particle or object in which an electric charge would feel force. An electric field is a vector quantity and can be visualized as arrows going toward or away from charges.
An electric field (sometimes called E-field[1]) is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles. Charged particles exert attractive forces on each other when their charges are opposite, and repulse each other when their charges are the same.
An electric field is generated by electric charge and tells us the force per unit charge at all locations in space around a charge distribution. The charge distribution could be a single point charge; a distribution of charge over, say, a flat plate; or a more complex distribution of charge.
The electric field, then, is the mechanism by which the electric properties of the source charge are transmitted to and through the rest of the universe. (Again, the range of the electric force is infinite.)
The meaning of ELECTRIC FIELD is a region associated with a distribution of electric charge or a varying magnetic field in which forces due to that charge or field act upon other electric charges.
Electric field is defined as the electric force per unit charge. The direction of the field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge. The electric field is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge.
A charged object is the source of an electric field that permeates the space around it. This field is how one charge exerts a force on another over a distance.
