V/m is the unit of ______(a) Electric field intensity(b) Electric flux(c) Electric potential(d) ChargeThis question was posed to me during an interview for a job.I'd like to ask this question from Electric Field in division Charges and Fields of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (a) Electric field intensity

Easiest explanation: E=-\(\frac {dV}{DX}\) where E is the field intensity, V is POTENTIAL and x is distance. THEREFORE unit of electric field intensity will be \(\frac {unit \, of \, potential}{unit \, of \, distance} = \frac {V}{m}\). Electric flux has unit V*m, V is the unit of electric potential whereas CHARGE has a unit of Coulomb or esu.
