An electric field is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts a force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them.
An electric field is described as the electric force per unit charge.
The formula for the electric field is,
where, is the electric field, is electrostatic force between two charge particles and is the charge.
The SI unit of electric field is .
Electric field components can be found in electromagnetic waves such as light, X-rays, radio waves, and microwaves.
There is an external electric field in the current-carrying conductors.
A static electric field will form around the comb if we run it through dry hair.
