Electric field
In physics, an electric field or E-field is an effect produced by an electric charge (or a time-varying magnetic field) that exerts a force on charged objects in the field. The SI units of the electric field are newtons per coulomb or volts per meter (which are equivalent). Electric fields contain electrical energy with energy density proportional to the square of the field intensity. Electric fields exist around all charges; the direction of field lines at a point is defined by the direction of the electric force exerted on a positive test charge placed at that point. The strength of the field is defined by the ratio of the electric force on a charge at a point to the magnitude of the charge placed at that point. In the dynamic case the electric field is accompanied by a magnetic field, by a flow of energy, and by real photons

Electric field is defined as the electric force per unit charge. The direction of the field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge. The electric field is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge

The Electric Field is a mapout of the influence and interaction of Electrostatic Potential Energy.
It is measured as a function of the inverse of a distance of the sphere of influence..
Its unit is Volt per Coulomb which yields the dimension of an inverse distance=1/meters.
This distance in meters indicates how much Electrostatic Energy can accumulate for each unit of Electrostatic Force.

So the Electric Field is how much Electrostatic Force is produced per each unit of Electrostatic Energy(a charge)
An Electric Field maps radially around an electric current conducting wire.

The Magnetic Field coexists with the Electric Field and maps out concentrically around a wire carrying current(.That is proportional to a line Integral of the current flowing in the wire.)
