Answer:

E = electric field

Step-by-step explanation:

The electric force per unit charge is called electric field of an object. It can be also defined as the space surrounded by a charged particle. The mathematical definition of electric field is given by :


Electric field=(electric\ force)/(charge)

Where

Electric force = F

Charge = q

Electric field = E

So, electric field is represented by a symbol E. Hence, the correct option is (b).
