Electric Field and Electric Forces

Electric Field and Electrostatic/Electric Forces are not different enough, actually electric field is the way to explain the application of Electric forces between two bodies without Physical touch. The electric field is a normalized electric force. The electric field surrounds the charge and exerts the electric forces on other charges that come into that field.Electric field can be as the electric force per unit charge. The direction of that field is same as the the direction of the force that charge would exert on a unit positive test charge. The strength of an electric field at any point may be defined as the electric, or Coulomb,force exerted per unit positive electric charge at that point.

The electric field \vec EEE, with, vector, on top is a vector quantity that exists at every point in space. The electric field at a location indicates the force that would act on a unit positive test charge if placed at that location.

The electric field is related to the electric force that acts on an arbitrary charge qqq by,

\vec E = \dfrac{\vec F}{q}E=qF​E, with, vector, on top, equals, start fraction, F, with, vector, on top, divided by, q, end fraction

The dimensions of electric field are newtons/coulomb, \text{N/C}N/Cstart text, N, slash, C, end text.

We can express the electric force in terms of electric field,

F = qE

For a positive charge q, the electric field vector points in the same direction as the force vector. The equation for electric field is similar to Coulomb's Law. We assign one of the q's in the numerator of Coulomb's Law to play the role of test charge.
