Electric field strength represents the intensity or magnitude of an electric field at a particular point in space. It quantifies the force experienced by a positive test charge placed in the electric field.
Electric Potential Energy: The amount of work required to move a charged object from one point to another within an electric field.
Gauss's Law: A fundamental principle in electromagnetism that relates the total electric flux through a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface.
Electric Dipole: A pair of equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance, which creates an electric field with specific characteristics.
