What is an Electric Field? (Physics - Electricity)

This physics lecture will provide you with a clear understanding of what is an electric field.

First, we define the word “Field” and give a few examples of various fields. Once we know clearly what a field is, it becomes easier to refocus on “electric fields”.

And for that, we will create one:
By pinning a charge in space, we realize that the well-known +/+ repulsion and +/- attraction can be described in terms of the effect of an electric field. The video builds from there and the nature of an electric field becomes very clear to the viewer.

If you are not sure what are electric fields, it is very probable you have also trouble with understanding electricity. It is for you that I made this video: Once you get what an electric field is, your study of electrical sciences will appear significantly easier! Understanding what an electric field really is will give you wings in your study of electricity!

The level required to fully enjoy the content of this physics documentary is high school (Grade 9 through 12)

This physics lesson is a part of a 3h online course that discuss electric charges (electrostatics) , electric forces and electric fields and provides many training exercises to crystallize your knowledge and see how it applies in real life. If you found this useful, you will find the course indispensable! And, guess what? It’s available right now!
