Key Stage 3
Meaning
An Electrostatic Field is the region around a charged object which can affect another charged object.
About Electrostatic Fields
- The Electrostatic Field around a Positive Charge is shown with arrows pointing away from the charge.
- The Electrostatic Field around a Negative Charge is shown with arrows pointing towards the charge.

Key Stage 4
Meaning
An Electrostatic Field is the region around a charged object in which another charged object will experience a force.
About Electrostatic Fields
- The Electrostatic Field around a Positive Charge is shown with arrows pointing away from the charge.
- The Electrostatic Field around a Negative Charge is shown with arrows pointing towards the charge.
