Electric Field Vector

$vecE = vecF/q_t$

Enter a value for all fields

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
(q_t) 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
