We have been using the units Vcm for electric field strength
We have been using the units V/cm for electric field strength. Diving by: 100 would give the SI unit V/m. Show that the V/ m is equivalent to another SI unit for electric field strength, the N/C.
Solution
Formulas:
F = qE
E = KQ/d^2
P.E. = E*d = KQ/d
Units:
Force = Newton(N)
P.E. = Voltage (V)
Q = Coulomb(C)
by formula 1 unit of electric field
E = unit of force F/(unit of charge (Q)) = N/C
by formula 3 unit of Electric field
E = Unit of P.E./(unit of distance(d)) = V/m
Comment below if you have any doubt.
