Question

The area in which an object experiences a noncontact force is called a field. Examples of fields include electrical fields, magnetic fields, and gravitational fields. A field extends throughout space and lessens with distance until it is undetectable. Fields are measurable and follow the motion of the field's source.

In your own words, explain what a field is in science.

Answer 1

In physics, a region in which each point is affected by a force. The strength of a field, or the forces in a particular region, can be represented by field lines; the closer the lines, the stronger the forces in that part of the field. See also electromagnetic field.
