## The electrostatic field

### Electric Fields

A static charge on an object will create an electric field. Learn to draw electric fields around single and multiple charges and solve for their value.

### The basics of the electric field

- Electric field (E): area of electrical influence around a charged object.

- Variable (E)

- Unit: newton per coulomb (N/F)

### Superposition of an electric field

We use the same principale as with forces
