An electric field is the region around a charged particle. Here, a force would be exerted onto other charged particles or objects.
Required Practicals:
I-V Curves: circuit with resistor - variables are potential difference and current - resistance increases in ohmic components as temperature increases.
Resistance of a Wire: circuit with ammeter and voltmeter - increase gage (width)=lower resistance, increase length=raise resistance, increase temperature= raise resistance, material=lower/raise - eg copper wire has a low resistance.
