The Electric Field

The electric field is a fundamental concept in physics, providing a framework for understanding the interactions between charged particles and their surroundings. It describes the influence exerted by electric charges on other charged particles within a given region of space. Originating from the concept of force fields, the electric field is characterized by its magnitude and direction at every point in space. Through its properties, the electric field plays a crucial role in numerous phenomena, ranging from the behavior of charged particles in everyday objects to the dynamics of celestial bodies in the cosmos.
