Electric Field, E(r),
- Electric field is defined as the electric force per unit charge. It is a vector field, E(r), called the electric field.
- It is the force exerted on a unit test charge located at position vector, . The direction of the field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge.
- The electric field is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge.
