This "ambipolar electric field" is a weak electrical field covering the entire planet, and was first theorized to exist over 60 years ago, but has finally been detected thanks to observations from ...

For decades, scientists theorised about Earth's ambipolar electric field, but it had never been directly measured... until now. NASA's Endurance mission has finally detected this elusive phenomenon ...

The charge displacement created when the electret was charged, and its electric field, will exist regardless. An electret can do work in the same sense that a magnet can do work.

As electric charges can be seen as monopole sources and sinks of electric field lines, the strong symmetry with magnetic and electrical fields for example in the free-space Maxwell equations 19,20 ...
