In this lesson, you will learn how electric fields work and how and why they cause forces on charged particles. In electromagnetic theory, charged particles create electric fields throughout space. These fields exert forces on any charged particles that exist in the fields. A disturbance takes time to propagate throughout the field. We examine how these electric fields occur and how to calculate the field and the force on a charged particle in the field.
