The effect produced by the existence of an electric charge, such as an electron, ion, or proton, in the volume of space or medium that surrounds it. Note: Each of a distribution of charges contributes to the whole field at a point on the basis of superposition. A charge placed in the volume of space or in the surrounding medium has a force exerted on it.

A field of forces that act on any electric charge placed within it. The stronger the field, the stronger the force that acts on the charge. For example, the positive charge on an atomic nucleus creates an electric field that traps electrons.
