ELECTRIC
FIELD
When
an electric charge is placed in space, the space around the charge is
modified and if we place another test charge within this space, the test
charge will experience some electrostatic force. The modified space
around an electric charge is called 'ELECTRIC FIELD'.
For
an exact definition we can describe an electric field as:
Space
or region surrounding an electric charge or a charged body within which
another charge experiences some electrostatic force of attraction
or repulsion when placed at a point is called Electric Field.
