Correct answer: C. Vector

  • A. Ratio
  • B. Scalar
  • C. Vector
  • D. Pure number

Explanation

Explanation: What Is Electric Field Intensity? The space around an electric charge in which its influence can be felt is known as the electric field. The electric field intensity at a point is the force experienced by a unit of positive charge placed at that point. Electric field intensity is a vector quantity. It is denoted by 'E'. Formula: Electric field = F/q. Unit of E is NC-1 or Vm-1.

About Vectors and Equilibrium

Vectors have magnitude and direction, unlike scalars, and are combined by head-to-tail or parallelogram methods. Work covers rectangular components, equilibrium when the resultant force is zero, the scalar product for work and projections, and the vector product for torque and cross-product direction using the right-hand rule.
