Question

Physical significance of electric field 2

Answer 1

Explanation:

physical significance of electric field : and electric field is an elegant way of characterizing the electrical environment of a system of charges the electric field at any point in space around the system of charges represents the force a unit ppositivetest charge experience if placed at that point

Answer 2

Answer:

The concept of electric field is of great significance. Two charges kept at a distance exert force on each other, which is termed as action at a distance.

The concept of electric field helps us to understand the mechanism by which two charges kept at a distance exert force on each other.

Further, as an alternative to Coulomb's law in electrostatics, it gives a method to find the force experienced by one charge due to the other in terms of the electric field produced by it.
