Asked in UHS MDCAT 2010 2010Moderate

SI unit of electric flux is:

Correct answer: C. Nm2C-1

  • A. NmC-1
  • B. Nm-2C-2
  • C. Nm2C-1
  • D. Nm2C-2

Explanation

Electric flux is defined as the product of the electric field and the area through which the field lines pass. Therefore, its SI unit is Nm2C-1. Option C is correct because it reflects the formula for electric flux (Electric field × Area). Options A, B, and D do not correctly represent the units for electric flux. Option A represents electric field strength, Option B does not correspond to a known quantity, and Option D is incorrect as it suggests an incorrect relationship between the units.

About Electric Field

An electric field is the force experienced per unit positive test charge, with the field of a point charge given by E = kQ/r² and directed away from positive charges or toward negative charges. Questions involve field lines, superposition and force on a charge, while electric field must be distinguished from electric potential.
