Introduction to Electric Fields and Forces

The video explains that objects with electric charge, like a comb, have an electric field around them. This field extends outward and can exert a force on nearby objects, such as pulling pieces of paper towards the charged comb. This interaction is known as electric force.

What surrounds an object that has an electric charge?

How does an electric field behave in relation to a charged object?

What happens when a charged object is brought close to neutral objects?

Explain the relationship between electric fields and electric force.

What is the term used to describe the force between charged objects?
