Question

The unit of electric field intensity is _________

Answer 1

Electric Field Intensity:

1. The force experienced by a unit positive charge placed at a spot is the electric field intensity at that point.

The formula for Electric Field Intensity.

1. $E=\frac{F}{q}$

Where $E$ is Electric field intensity,

$F$ is the force acting on the charge

$q$ is the charge

Calculating SI unit

SI unit of Force is Newton (N),

SI unit of Charge is Coulomb (C)

$$\begin{gathered} E=\frac{N}{C} \\ E=N/CorN·C^{-1} \end{gathered}$$

Final Answer: Hence the SI unit of Electric field Intensity is N/C.
