Question
Define electric field strength. Is it a vector or a scalar quantity?
✓
Answer
The electric field strength at a point in an electric field is defined as the electrostatic force acting on a unit positive charge when placed at that point and its direction is along the direction of electrostatic force.
Electric field strength is a vector quantity.
