Question

Which of the following cannot be the units of electric field intensity?
Options
A N/C
B J/C
Correct Answer
C J/C.m
D V/m
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

E has units N/C, equivalently V/m, equivalently J/(C.m). But J/C on its own is joules per coulomb = the VOLT, which is the unit of potential, not field. So J/C is the odd one out.

Hint

E has units N/C, equivalently V/m, equivalently J/(C.m).
