Question

Which of the following represent units of an electric field? select all that apply

Newton Meters
Volts/Meter
Voltmeter
Newtons/meter
Joules/Coulomb
Newtons/Coulomb

Answer 1

Volts/Meter

Newtons/Coulomb is correct i got it right on odyssey

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Volts/Meter

Newtons/Coulomb

Step-by-step explanation:

Volts/ Meter and Newtons/Coulomb both are same and the units of Electric field intensity or electric field strength.

Electric field strength E is the force per unit charge. It is measured in Newton/Coulomb in SI unit. It is a vector quantity directed in the direction of force.

Mathematically,

Electric field strength = Force/Charge

E = F / q₀

= Newton / Coulomb = NC⁻¹ 1

We know that

Newton = Joule/meter 2

Also

Volt = Joule/Coulomb 3

So put 3 in 2 we get

Newton = (Volt Coulomb)/meter put in 1

E = (Volt Coulomb)/(meter Coulomb)

= Volt / meter

Hence

Newton / Coulomb = Volt / meter
