Question

What is the unit of electric field?

• A. Newton
• B. Coulomb
• C. Newton per Coulomb
• D. Coulomb per Newton

Hint:

Electric field measures the force experienced by a unit positive charge.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The electric field \(E\) is defined as force per unit charge: \[ E = \frac{F}{q} \] Force \(F\) is in Newtons (N), charge \(q\) is in Coulombs (C), so: \[ E = \frac{\text{N}}{\text{C}} \] Thus, option (3) is correct.
