electric field
(redirected from electrostatic field)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

electric field

In 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.
