How do you find the average electric field?


Open in App
Solution

Step 1: Calculate the average electric field in terms of voltage and displacement

The formula for calculating the average electric field is dividing the potential difference(voltage) by the displacement:

Eaverage=Vx

Where, V is a change in voltage and the unit is volt, and x is the displacement and the unit is the meter.

Step 2: Calculate the electric field in terms of force and charge

An electric field at a point in space is specified by the force that would act on a charge q0 when placed at that point

. E=Fq0

Where F is the force, and q0 is the charge.
