<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''electric field''' is one of the five fundamental fields that pervade space, along with magnetic, strong, weak and gravitational fields - although electricity and magnetism have been considered two aspects of one more fundamental field since the late 1800's.<br />
<br />
At every point in space, the electric field has a value which is a vector, i.e. a strength and a direction.<br />
<br />
The electric field can exert a force on a charged entity, such as an [[electron]]. This effect is used in many ways, including in [[semiconductor]] devices of all kinds, and in [[cathode ray tube|CRTs]] (which use beams of electrons).<br />
