The Electric Field Vector calculator computes the vector based on the force vector and test charge.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (`vecF`) Electric Force Vector in Newtons
- (qt) Test Charge
Electric Field Vector (`vecE`): The calculator returns the vector in Newtons per Coulomb (N/C). The calculator also returns the magnitude of the electric field vector in Newtons per Coulomb (N/C). However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
The Electric Field Vector is found using the following formula:
`vecE=vecF/q_t`
where:
- `vecE` = electric field vector
- `vecF` = electric force vector
- `q_t` = test charge
