Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the unit of electric field?
  • Step 1: Understand that an electric field is related to force and charge.
  • Step 2: Know that force is measured in Newtons (N).
  • Step 3: Know that charge is measured in Coulombs (C).
  • Step 4: The electric field is defined as the force experienced by a charge in the field.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the unit of electric field is the force (N) divided by the charge (C).
  • Step 6: This gives us the unit of electric field as Newtons per Coulomb (N/C).
