Question

what are electric fields

Answer 1

Electric field= force /charge

Answer 2

An electric field is a vector field surrounding an electric charge that exerts force on other charges, attracting or repelling them.[1] [2]Mathematically the electric field is a vector field that associates to each point in space the force, called the Coulomb force, that would be experienced per unit of charge, by an infinitesimal test charge at that point.[3][4][5]The units of the electric field in the SI system are newtons per coulomb (N/C), or volts per meter (V/m). Electric fields are created by electric charges, and by time-varying magnetic fields
