Question

what is electric field​

Answer 1

An electric field is a vector field surrounding an electric charge that exerts force on other charges, attracting or repelling them.

Answer 2

Answer:

The space surrounding an electric charge in which another charge experiences an electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion is called the electric field of the charge.

Explanation:

Let us consider an electric charge q located in space. If we bring another charge q1 near the charge q, then the charge q1 experiences a force of attraction or repulsion due to the charge q.  

The force experienced by q1 is said to be due to the 'electric field' set up by the charge q.
