Electric field question -- Charges....

In summary, charges have the natural property of creating an electric field wherever they are placed, and this field exists as long as the charge exists. The electric field propagates almost instantaneously and is a fundamental aspect of Coulomb's law.

When a charge placed at anywhere,then it produces a powerful field around itself,is called electric field. It is exist whenever charge exist.And charge takes very very small time in propagate electric field.

Do you have a question, or are you attempting to present a basic lesson in Coulomb's law?

it's just a natural property of charges in that they create an electric field
as far as I'm aware, it can't be explained any further
 

FAQ: Electric field question -- Charges....

1. What is an electric field?

An electric field is a physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on other charged particles within its range. It is represented by arrows pointing in the direction of the force at various points in space.

2. How is an electric field created?

An electric field is created by the presence of electrically charged particles, such as protons and electrons. These charged particles create a force that can act on other charged particles within their range.

3. What is the relationship between electric field and charges?

The strength of an electric field is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charges that create it. This means that the stronger the charges, the stronger the electric field will be.

4. How is the direction of an electric field determined?

The direction of an electric field is determined by the direction in which a positive test charge would move if placed in the field. It is always in the direction of the force acting on the test charge.

5. How is the strength of an electric field measured?

The strength of an electric field is measured in units of newtons per coulomb (N/C). This represents the amount of force per unit charge that the field is exerting on a test charge.
