Electric field strength measures the electric force per unit charge at a location. It's fundamental to electrostatics and electromagnet behavior.
Formule
The calculator applies E = kQ / r² for single charge, superposition for multiple
- E
- kQ / r² for single charge — kQ / r² for single charge
Stapsgewijze handleiding

- 3Results show electric field magnitude and direction
Uitgewerkte voorbeelden
Invoer
Q = 1 μC, r = 1 m
Resultaat
E ≈ 8,990 V/m
Using k = 8.99 × 10⁹ N·m²/C²

Veelgestelde vragen
Is electric field direction standardized?
By convention, electric field lines point away from positive charges and toward negative charges.
How do you combine multiple electric fields?
Use vector superposition; add field vectors from all sources, accounting for direction.
