Electric field is a force that surrounds a point charge and is proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the charge.
The electric field produced by a positive point charge points away from the charge, and the electric field produced by a negative point charge points toward the charge.

Electric field at a point due to many charges is the vector sum of the individual electric fields.
Electric field can be calculated using the formula: E = 1 / (4πε0) * (Q / r²)

Electric field lines are imaginary lines or curves that represent the direction of the electric field vector at a point.
Rules for drawing electric field lines:
- Start at positive charges and end at negative charges.
- The number of lines leaving a positive charge or terminating on a negative charge is proportional to the charge.
- The number of lines per unit area perpendicular to the lines is proportional to the electric field.
- No two field lines can ever intersect.

An electric dipole is a pair of electric charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign, separated by a small distance.
The magnitude of the electric dipole moment (p) is given by: p = qd
The direction of the dipole moment (p) is from the negative to the positive charge.

The resultant electric field at a point is the vector sum of the individual electric fields due to each charge.
The electric field can be calculated using the formula: E = E1 + E2 + ...

The electrostatic force between an electron and a proton is much stronger than the gravitational force between them.
The ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force is: Fe / Fg = 2.23 x 10^39
