For Electric Field we have terms and definitions in 2 topics. The topics are Hydrology and Transistors.

Electric Field (Hydrology)

An abstract concept analogous to magnetic field. Useful in determining a force that a test charge (a point source of known electric charge) would experience in the vicinity of another point charge. A single positive (negative) point charge produces an electric field directed outward (inward). Measured in volts/meter.

Electric Field (Transistors)

The region around any electrically charged material contains an electric field that affects other charged objects. The field around a negatively charged material pulls positively-charged objects in toward the material, while negatively-charged objects are pushed away. Around a positively charged material, on the contrary, negative objects are attracted and positive objects are repelled. The strength of the field gets rapidly weaker as one moves further away from the charged material.
