Correct Answer: 1

Solution and Explanation

Electric field intensity
\(E=\frac{V}{d}\)
\(\frac{0.6}{6 \times 10^{-6}}\)
\(= 1 \times 10^5\)
So, the answer is 1.

Electric Field

Electric Field is the electric force experienced by a unit charge. 

The electric force is calculated using the coulomb's law, whose formula is:

\(F=k\dfrac{|q_{1}q_{2}|}{r^{2}}\)

While substituting q2 as 1, electric field becomes:

 \(E=k\dfrac{|q_{1}|}{r^{2}}\)

SI unit of Electric Field is V/m (Volt per meter).
