What is Electric Field?

Electric field is defined as the electric force per unit charge. The direction of the field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge. They are generated by electric charges, and different configurations formed by charge such as capacitors or by varying magnetic fields.

Facts about Electric Field

Electric Field lines always point in one direction and they never cross each other. Electric Fields and Electric charges cannot exist in a vacuum. The strength of electric field depends on the source charge, not the test charge. The presence of a material medium always diminishes the electric field below the value it has in vacuum.
