What do you mean by intensity of electric field?

Answer»

The space around an electric charge in which its influence can be felt is known as the electric field. 

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

  • Electric Field Intensity is a vector quantity. 
  • t is denoted by ‘E’. 
  • Electric Field = F/q. 
  • Unit of E is NC-1 or Vm-1

The electric field intensity due to a positive charge is always directed away from the charge and the intensity due to a negative charge is always directed towards the charge.

Electric field intensity is the strength of an electric field at any point. It is equal to the electric force per unit charge experienced by a test charge placed at that point, or \(E= \frac{F}{q}\)
