# electricField()

Creates a field node that applies an electrical force proportional to the electrical charge of physics bodies.

## Declaration

```swift
class func electricField() -> SKFieldNode
```

## Return Value

Return Value A new electric field node.

## Discussion

Discussion The force points toward the field node’s position and has a magnitude proportional to the field’s strength property and the physics body’s charge property. This field models the first part of the Lorentz equation: F = qE Where F equals force, q equals charge, and E equals electric field. The falloff property of an electrical field node is set by default to 2.
