electric fieldIn physics, a region in which a particle possessing electric charge experiences a force owing to the presence of another electric charge. The strength of an electric field, E, is measured in volts per metre (V m−1). It is a type of electromagnetic field. An electric field is formed between two metal plates that are parallel to each other and connected to a voltage supply. An electron beam moving through these plates will be deflected slightly towards the positive plate. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| Technology that reduces the electric field strength at the gate edge, leading to improved breakdown voltage, and enables high-voltage, high-power operation. It is the value of the electric field strength after which the discharge happens (figure 6). The defects create regions of high electric field strength, the existence of which enables photoresponse in the visible spectrum. |
