Question

What is Mean by Electric Field?

Answer 1

1. An electric field is a physical field that surrounds the charged particles and it gives force to all the particles in the surrounding space.
2. The equation of the electric field (E) can be written as $E=\frac{F}{q}$, where $\mathrm{F}$ represents the electrostatic force, $\mathrm{q}$ is the charge.
3. An electric field is a force produced by a charge carrier in the surrounding environment.
4. The electric field is generated by the electric charge or by time-varying magnetic fields.
5. If the force on the test charge is said to be the same at all points in a field both in magnitude and direction, then the field is said to be uniform.
6. If the force on the test charge varies from point to point in a field, then the field is said to be non-uniform.
