How to Calculate Electric Field.

Rosemary Njeri

Electric field is defined as the electric force per unit charge. The direction of the field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge.

An electric field is an elegant way of characterizing the electrical environment of a system of charges.

The standard metric of electric field strength is Newton/Coulomb or N/C.

Formula to calculate electric field.

Calculate Electric Field.

Example:

Suppose in an electric field produced by a dielectric of a parallel-plate capacitor produces an electric force of 10N and a charge of 5 Coulomb, calculate its strength.

Calculate Electric Field.

Thus, the electric field strength is 2N/C.
