Analogy
The electric field is the space around an electrical charge
just like
a gravitational field is the space around a mass.

Electric Field Lines
Lines that indicate the strength and direction of the electric field.
The more dense the lines, the stronger the field.

Electric Field Lines Between Two Plates
Electric field lines go away from a positive plate and go toward the negative plate. Electric field strength is the same everywhere between the plates.
Positive Plate (+)
Negative Plate (-)

Example 4
If an electron is introduced directly between two oppositely charged, parallel plates, the electron will Travel at constant speed toward the positively charged
plate. Travel at constant speed toward the negatively charged
plate. Accelerate toward the positively charged plate. Accelerate toward the negatively charged plate.

Conductors and Electric Fields (under electrostatic conditions)
“The electric field is zero inside a charged conductor”.
“Excess charge on an isolated conductor resides on the surface”.
“Excess charge accumulates on sharp points”.
Electric field lines meet the conductor perpendicular to the surface of the conductor.
