The electric field is a measure of the force that is exerted per coulomb of charge and its measure is defined as kq/r2 where k is the electrostatic constant constant,q is the amount of charge,and r is the distance between charges.The presence of an electric field is identified using a test charge.It is observed that earth's atmosphere has an electric field that is directed radially inward.The magnitude of the electric field at the Earth's surface are found to be in the range of 66N/C to 150N/C.The intensity of electric field varies at different altitudes above sea level.Its intensity decreases as we move farther away from the earth's surface.
