Electric Field
Definition of Electric Field
An electric field is a region of space where an electric charge experiences an electrostatic force. The strength of the field is the ratio of the force experienced by the charge to the magnitude of the charge. The direction of the electric field is the direction of the force that would be experienced by a small positive charge placed at that point.
