Electric field

Explanation:

Electric field is defined as the area around a charged object that can exert a force on other charged objects.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

Where

F is the electric force

q is the test charge

The direction of electric field can be understand using electric field lines. The electric field lines starts form the positive charge while terminates at the negative charge.

think its the third option

the closer the planet is to the sun, the larger the gravity
