PHY 102 Coulomb's law and Electric Fields Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

What are the SI units for electric field strength (E)?
Options
A Joules per Coulomb (J/C)
B Newtons per meter (N/m)
C Volts (V)
D Newtons per Coulomb (N/C) or Volts per meter (V/m)
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 3 states: 'The units of E are N/C or (see Chapter 25) V/m.'

Hint

Recall the definition of electric field strength as force per unit charge (Force/Charge) or potential difference per unit distance (Voltage/Distance).
