The electric field in terms of the force and charge is,


E=(F)/(q)

where F is the force acting on the test charge, q is the strength of the test charge, E is the strength of electric field,

Thus, the electric field strength is equal to the force on a positive test charge divided by strength of test charge.

Hence, 1st option (electric field) is the correct answer.
