Electric charge creates electric fields from "summary" of Fundamentals of Physics, Volume 1 (Chapters 1 - 20) by David Halliday,Robert Resnick,Jearl Walker
When an object possesses electric charge, it interacts with the space around it by creating an electric field. This field extends outward from the charged object and fills the surrounding space. The electric field exerts a force on any other charged object placed within it, causing the object to experience an electric force. The strength of this force depends on the magnitude of the charge creating the field and the distance between the charged objects. The concept of electric fields helps us understand how charged objects interact with each other even when they are not in direct contact. By studying the properties of electric fields, we can predict and analyze ...
