The electric field describes the electrostatic potential produced by a charge.

Point charge

For point charge $A$, its field at point $B$ in space is:

$$\vec E_{A \to B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q_A}{\left\| AB \right\|^2}\widehat{AB}$$

Application

The electrostatic force experienced by a point charge $B$ is:

$$\vec F_e=Q_B\vec E_B$$
