electric field
An electric field is a region or space around a charged particle in which another charged particle experiences an electric force. It is a vector field characterized by the electric force that a test particle would experience at any given point, and its strength and direction depend on the positive or negative charge that generated it. It is usually represented by electric field lines where the density of lines is proportional to the field's strength.
