Question

define electric feild strenght.write its SI unit is it scalar or vector?

Answer 1

Any electrically charged object produces an electric field. This field has an effect on other charged objects in the vicinity. The field strength at a particular distance from an object is directly proportional to the electric charge, in coulomb s, on that object. The field strength is inversely proportional to the distance from a charged object.

Electric field strength is a quantitative expression of the intensity of an electric field at a particular location. The standard unit is the volt per meter (v/m or vm^-1). A field strength of 1 v/m represents a potential difference of one volt between points separated by one meter.Its a vector quantity.
