Field intensity is also known as electric field strength or magnetic field strength, depending on the type of field being discussed.
In both cases, field intensity describes how strong the field is at a specific point in space.
- Electric Field Intensity (Electric Field Strength): It refers to the force per unit charge exerted on a small positive test charge placed in the electric field. It's measured in volts per meter (V/m).
- Magnetic Field Intensity (Magnetic Field Strength): It refers to the strength of the magnetic field at a point, influenced by electric currents or magnetic materials. It's measured in ampere-turns per meter (A/m).
In both cases, field intensity describes how strong the field is at a specific point in space.
