electric fields

Voltage creates these

Electric fields are regions of space where electrically charged particles experience force.

Every charged object creates an electric field around it, attracting opposite charges and repelling like charges.

The field's strength weakens with distance from the source.

Electric fields are fundamental to understanding electromagnetic phenomena, from static electricity to how circuits work: The electric field between the capacitor plates stores energy.
