If we place othe chaged paticle at any given point in that space, paticle 1 knows of the pesence of second paticle because paticle is affected by the electic field exist at that point fom paticle 1. paticle 1 pushes o pulls on paticle not by touching it but by means of the electic field poduced by paticle 1.
