Answer:

Hi hope this helps!

This area is called an "electric field". Normally It is also known as the electrostatic field and it is defined as the area or space where any form of charge exists. This charge is usually created by an object and is therefore experienced in close proximity to the source. The proportion and direction of this charge is called electric field strength/intensity and can be expressed using the value E.

Answer: Electric Field.

Step-by-step explanation:

An electric field surrounds an electric charge and is capable to exert force on other charges in the field, both attracting or repelling them. An electric field is usually shortened as E-field. The electric field is described as the electric force per unit charge and is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge.
