what do you mean by electric fields

An electric charge produces an electric field, which is a region of space around an electrically charged particle or object in which an electric charge would feel force. The electric field exists at all points in space and can be observed by bringing another charge into the electric field. However, the electric field can be approximated as zero for practical purposes if the charges are far enough from each other.

➟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.
➳Field lines never intersect each other.
➳They are perpendicular to the surface charge.
➳The field is strong when the lines are close together, and it is weak when the field lines move apart from each other.
➳The number of field lines is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge.
There are two types of electric fields:
- Static or electrostatic fields
- Dynamic or time-varying fields.
