How do you find the average electric field?
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:
Where, is a change in voltage and the unit is volt, and 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 when placed at that point
.
Where is the force, and is the charge.
