Question

Electric field at a point is defined as force per unit:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

The Electric Field ($\vec{E}$) at a point is a vector quantity that represents the electrostatic force exerted on a unit positive test charge placed at that point.
$\vec{E} = \frac{\vec{F}}{q_0}$
- SI Unit: **Newton per Coulomb (N/C)** or **Volt per meter (V/m)**.
- Direction: The same as the force on a positive test charge.
