Electric fields allow objects to exert forces on each other even when they are not touching because electric fields exist around charged objects. These electric fields interact with the charged particles in other objects, causing them to experience a force.
When two charged objects are near each other, their electric fields interact and create a force between them. This force can be attractive or repulsive, depending on the charges of the objects. Objects with opposite charges will attract each other, while objects with like charges will repel each other.
The strength of the force between two charged objects is determined by the distance between them and the amount of charge they possess. The closer the objects are to each other and the larger the charge they possess, the stronger the force will be.
Overall, electric fields allow objects to exert forces on each other even when they are not touching because they can interact with each other through their electric fields, resulting in attractive or repulsive forces between the objects.
