The attractive or repulsive interaction between any two charged objects is an electric force. Like any force, its effect upon objects is described by Newton's Laws of Motion. The net force can then be used to determine the acceleration of the object. Electric force is the pull or push that an electric charge will experience. Units = Newton’s for force. Electric field is the region in which that force is felt. The electric field strength = force per unit charge units = Newton’s per coulomb.
