Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electric field is a region of space surrounding a charge or a system of charges in which any other charge brought in experiences a force.
Faraday.s law of electric field According to Faraday, the electric force between two changed bodies is a two steps process
(i) A charged body known as source charge creates an electric field around it.
(ii) This field acting on any other charge present in it produces a force but it cannot exert a force on the source itself.
