Electric Field
What is Electric Field?
Electric field is defined as the electric force per unit charge. It results in an electric force that is felt by electric charges when placed close to one another. A static electric field is created when charges are stationary. The electric field is a vector quantity having both magnitude and direction
Electric Field Lines and Direction
The strength and direction of electric field is represents by electric field line. Electric field lines are imaginary lines around a charge, and their tangent lines are field vectors. Arrows are drawn to represent their direction, and the number of field line represents the strength of am electric field. The electric field is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge.
