In physics, a force field is a vector field corresponding with a non-contact force acting on a particle at various positions in space. Specifically, a force field is a vector field , where is the force that a particle would feel if it were at the point .
Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. A gravitational force field models this influence that a massive body (or more generally, any quantity of energy) extends into the space around itself. In Newtonian gravity, a particle of mass M creates a gravitational field , where the radial unit vector points away from the particle. The gravitational force experienced by a particle of light mass m, close to the surface of Earth is given by , where g is the standard gravity.
An electric field is a vector field. It exerts a force on a point charge q given by .
A magnetic field is a vector field. A point charge moving through one experiences a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the direction of the field, following the relation: .
Work is dependent on the displacement as well as the force acting on an object. As a particle moves through a force field along a path C, the work done by the force is a line integral:
This value is independent of the velocity/momentum that the particle travels along the path.
For a conservative force field, it is also independent of the path itself, depending only on the starting and ending points. Therefore, the work for an object travelling in a closed path is zero, since its starting and ending points are the same:
If the field is conservative, the work done can be more easily evaluated by realizing that a conservative vector field can be written as the gradient of some scalar potential function:
The work done is then simply the difference in the value of this potential in the starting and end points of the path.

Le théorème du gradient est un théorème de l'analyse vectorielle qui met en relation l'intégrale de volume du gradient d'un champ scalaire et l'intégrale de surface du même champ. Le théorème est le suivant : Pour démontrer que ces deux vecteurs sont égaux, il suffit de vérifier que leurs produits scalaires par n'importe quel vecteur le sont, en utilisant le théorème de flux-divergence.

Le spiritiste Édouard Isidore Buguet démontrant ses dons de Psychokinèsie sur une photo truquée en |thumb|right La psychokinèse ou psychokinésie (PK), ou télékinésie par la pensée, est une faculté métapsychique hypothétique de l'esprit qui permettrait d'agir directement sur la matière, mais qui n'a pas de fondement scientifique. Les expériences concernant la psychokinèse ont été critiquées pour leur manque de contrôles scientifiques appropriés et leur non-reproductibilité.
