About

Electric fields is a fundamental concept in physics representing the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on other charged particles. It is a key component of electromagnetism, investigating the interaction forces between charges, the energy associated with these interactions, and the propagation of electromagnetic waves. Characterized as a vector field, it describes the force per unit charge at any point in space. Its significance lies in providing a framework for understanding fundamental electromagnetic interactions, the behaviour of charged matter, and enabling numerous technological applications.
