Electric Field

What is an Electric Field ?

The field signifies how the distributed energy varies with .

Electric field is a region of around a charge where its influence can be felt by another charge.

Theoretically electric field of a charged body can be extended to

Electric Field Intensity

Electric field intensity at a is the force experienced by a positive charge which is placed at that point.

It is a quantity.

Electric field intensity has some physical entities and significance. When an electric charge moves, the gets transported from one place to another in the form of electric field of that charge

Electric field direction

For a positive charge electric field is directed radially , but radially in the case of a negative charge

Test Charge

Question 1

Unit positive charge (One Coulomb) has very large number of charges. But test charge is used to find electric force and it is a very very small charge so that they can't disturb the source that produce electrics field.
