Electric Field Strength

Edexcel A-level PhysicsElectric FieldsLesson 16 of 17

The electric field strength is a vector quantity. Consider two point charges placed a distance d apart. The electric field strength is the vector sum of the electric field strengths of the two point charges.

For a single point charge Q, the field strength at a distance r is:

E = Q/4πε0r2
