electric field

electric field
electric field n a region associated with a distribution of electric charge or a varying magnetic field in which forces due to that charge or field act upon other electric charges

* * *

a region of space in which an electric intensity exists at every point, causing charged bodies to be attracted to or repelled from each other; it is associated with an electromagnetic wave or a changing magnetic field.
