Question

Electric intensity being a force is a.
Select one:
a. Scalar quantity
b. Basic quantity
c. Unmeasurable quantity
d. Vector quantity

Answer 1

Answer:

Electric intensity is the strength of an electric field at any point and it is equal to the electric force per unit charge experienced by a test charge placed at that point. Thus, electric intensity = electric force/charge.

As electric force is a vector and charge is a scalar quantity so vector divided by scalar is always a vector.

Answer 2

Answer is (d) vector quantity.
