The unit of electric intensity is:
Correct answer: D. All of above
- A. Volt/meter
- B. Newton/coulomb
- C. Joule/coulomb_meter
- D. All of above
Explanation
Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" since all the options are valid units for electric intensity, each expressing a different aspect of the electric field strength.

About Electric Field Intensity
Electric field intensity is the force acting per unit positive test charge, with direction set by the force on that charge. Work includes fields of point charges, vector superposition, field lines and the relation between field and electric potential. Field intensity must be distinguished from electric force and potential.
