Question
Define intensity of electric field at any point. Write down its S.I. unit.
✓
Answer
The amount of force experienced by a unit positive charge placed at any point of the electric field is called the intensity of the electric field at that point. It is a vector quantity. Its direction is that in which the force acts on a unit positive charge. Its Unit is Newton/Coulomb.
