The symbol for electric field intensity is **E**.
It represents the force per unit charge exerted on a small positive test charge placed in the field. The electric field is a vector quantity, so it has both magnitude and direction. The unit of electric field intensity is **newtons per coulomb (N/C)** or **volts per meter (V/m)**.
