Formula for electric field intensity is:
Correct answer: A. E=F/q
- A. E=F/q
- B. E=F2/q
- C. E=F/3q
- D. None of them
Explanation
Electric field intensity is the strength of an electric field at a specific point, measured by the force exerted on a unit positive charge placed at that point. hence the formula is E = F/q

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
