Concepts Used:
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).
