Is an EM Field in Cosmos Possible According to Faraday and Maxwell?

In summary, an electric field in cosmos refers to the presence of charged particles in space and is different from an electric field on Earth. Electric fields in cosmos can influence charged particles, celestial bodies, and electromagnetic radiation, and play a role in the formation of stars and planets. Scientists measure these fields using various methods and their effects on humans are still being studied. Electric fields in cosmos also impact the universe by shaping and influencing its behavior and processes.

For this situation, we consider light as an electromagnetic field traveling in x,y and z coordinate of space (cosmos) and electromagnetic fields are produced by oscillating electric and magnetic field.
So can't there be such a similar EM field as proposed by Micheal Faraday?

What Faraday proposed is the EM Field - it was codified by Maxwell.

What is an electric field in cosmos and how is it different from an electric field on Earth?

An electric field in cosmos refers to the presence of electrically charged particles in the vast expanse of space. It is different from an electric field on Earth as the latter is mainly caused by the movement of electrons through conductors, while the former can be caused by various sources such as charged particles from the sun, cosmic rays, and interactions between different celestial bodies.

What are the effects of electric fields in cosmos on other objects?

The effects of electric fields in cosmos can vary depending on the strength and direction of the field. They can influence the trajectories of charged particles, cause interactions between celestial bodies, and even affect the behavior of electromagnetic radiation. Electric fields can also play a role in the formation of stars and planets.

How do scientists measure electric fields in cosmos?

Scientists use various methods to measure electric fields in cosmos, such as using satellite observations, ground-based telescopes, and specialized instruments. These measurements can provide valuable information about the strength, direction, and variability of electric fields in different regions of space.

Can electric fields in cosmos be harmful to humans?

The effects of electric fields in cosmos on humans are still being studied. While cosmic rays and high-energy particles can be harmful to humans, the electric fields themselves are not known to have direct harmful effects. However, they can influence the space environment and may affect the performance of spacecraft and electronics.

How do electric fields in cosmos impact the universe?

Electric fields in cosmos play a significant role in shaping and influencing the behavior of the universe. They can affect the formation and evolution of galaxies, influence the movement of celestial bodies, and contribute to the dynamics of the overall universe. Understanding electric fields in cosmos is crucial in gaining a better understanding of the universe and its processes.
