Electric Fields
[kml_flashembed movie=”http://www.helpmyphysics.co.uk/electricfield.swf” height=”450″ width=”550″ /kml]
When a physicist talks about a field they are not talking about the green ones with
cows in it.
Rather they mean regions of space where objects experience a force without being touched.
To picture these regions in space physicists use arrowed lines.
The direction of the arrows show the direction where the objects experience the force.
