wich creates an electric field charge or a charged particle (electron)

Yes, there is a difference. Charge refers to the property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electric or magnetic field. On the other hand, a charged particle is an object that has an imbalance of positive and negative charges, resulting in an overall charge. Both charge and charged particles can create electric fields, but they do so in different ways.
No, a neutral object cannot create an electric field. In order for an object to create an electric field, it must have a net charge. A neutral object has an equal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in a net charge of zero. Therefore, it does not create an electric field.
A charged particle creates an electric field by exerting a force on other charged particles in its vicinity. This force is known as the Coulomb force, and it is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charged particle's charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charged particles.
Yes, the strength of an electric field created by a charged particle is affected by the distance between the charged particle and another object. As the distance increases, the strength of the electric field decreases. This is because the Coulomb force weakens with distance.
Yes, a charged particle can create an electric field in a vacuum. The presence of any charged particle in a vacuum will create an electric field, as there are no other particles or objects to neutralize the charge. This is known as an electrostatic field, and it can exist in a vacuum without the need for a medium.
