    Electric Field

    • An electric field surrounds electrically charged particles.
    • Electric fields are responsible for attractive forces between oppositely charged particles.
    • Diagrams show electric field lines radiating outward from positive charges and inward towards negative charges.
    • The direction of the arrows in the diagrams represents the direction of the electric field at different points.
    • A point in an electric field experiences a force acting on a charge.
    • Electric fields are created by charged particles or changes in electric fields over time.
