Force Field (physics)
In physics, a force field is a vector field corresponding with a non-contact force acting on a particle at various positions in space. Specifically, a force field is a vector field \mathbf F, where \mathbf F(\mathbf r) is the force that a particle would feel if it were at the position \mathbf r. Examples *Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. A gravitational force field models this influence that a massive body (or more generally, any quantity of energy) extends into the space around itself. In Newtonian gravity, a particle of mass ''M'' creates a gravitational field \mathbf g=\frac\hat\mathbf r, where the radial unit vector \hat\mathbf r points away from the particle. The gravitational force experienced by a particle of light mass ''m'', close to the surface of Earth is given by \mathbf F = m \mathbf g, where ''g'' is Earth's gravity. *An electric field \mathbf E exerts a force on a point charge ''q'', given by \mathbf F = q\mathbf E. *In a magnetic field \m ...
