Electric Field

A phenomenon occurring in space where an electric charge exists and in which a difference in electric tension occurs.  In fact, any charged body creates an electric field around itself, that affects (exercises power over) any other charged body in its vicinity.  For example: If an object is charged by a static electric charger, it will attract hair, dust, floating particles, etc.  The electric field is measured in units of volts per meter (V/m).
