Solution

Electric work is defined as the work done by the electric field on a charged particle.
$E l e c t r i c w o r k = F o r c e \times D i s p l a c e m e n t$
Its dimensional formula is $[M L^{2} T^{2}]$ .
The SI unit is joule or $N m$ .
For example, the work done by a battery in moving the electron in an electric circuit represents electric work.
