I have an intuitive understanding of electric fields but when it comes to defining it on a test I wouldn't know what to say. Is the electric field defined as the force produced by a charged object on a positive test charge or any other charged object? Also if you were told to draw the electric field lines emanating from a charged object on its own (as opposed to acting on another charged object) would you just assume its in relation to a positive test i.e. lines pointing outward for a positively charged object lines pointing inward for a negatively charged object.
