What is the defining equation for electric field strength EE?

E=FQE = \frac{F}{Q}

Which two units for electric field strength are equivalent?

NC−1\text{NC}^{-1} and Vm−1\text{Vm}^{-1}

What is the equation for electric field strength at distance rr from a point charge QQ?

E=Q4πε0r2E = \frac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 r^2}

Why must a test charge be sufficiently small?

So its own field doesn't distort measured field

E=VdE = \frac{V}{d}

How does electric field strength vary with distance in a radial field?

Decreases with square of distance

What is the direction of electric field strength at a point?

Direction of force on positive test charge
