Detailed explanation-1: -What is Electric Field? The electric field is defined mathematically as a vector field that can be associated with each point in space, the force per unit charge exerted on a positive test charge at rest at that point. The electric field is generated by the electric charge or by time-varying magnetic fields.
Detailed explanation-2: -An electric field is a region around a charged object where electric forces can be exerted on another charged object.
Detailed explanation-3: -An electric field (sometimes E-field) is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them. It also refers to the physical field for a system of charged particles.
Detailed explanation-4: -An electric field line is an imaginary line or curve drawn from a point of an electric field such that tangent to it (at any point) gives the direction of the electric field at that point.
Detailed explanation-5: -An electric field is a region where a charged particle (such as an electron or proton) experiences a force (an electrical force) without being touched. If the charged particle is free to move, it will accelerate in the direction of the unbalanced force. To represent an electric field, we draw electric field lines.
