Question

The mechanical force per unit charge at a given point is called:

• A. Electric field intensity
• B. Potential energy
• C. Permeability
• D. Permittivity

Hint:

Electric field = Force per unit charge. It’s a vector and fundamental to understanding electrostatics.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Electric field intensity is defined as the force experienced per unit positive test charge: \[ \vec{E} = \dfrac{\vec{F}}{q} \] It represents the strength and direction of the electric field at a point.
