How to Use the Electric Field Calculator
To calculate the electric field, input the charge in Coulombs and the distance from the charge in meters, then click the “Calculate” button to get the electric field strength in Newtons per Coulomb (N/C). The result will be displayed instantly.
How the Calculator Works
The electric field is calculated using Coulomb’s law. The formula to calculate electric field (E) is E = k * q / r2, where k is Coulomb’s constant (approximately 8.99 x 109 N·m²/C²), q is the charge in Coulombs, and r is the distance from the charge in meters. Our calculator automatically computes the electric field using these values.
Limitations
This calculator assumes a point charge in a vacuum and does not account for other factors that may be present in a real-world situation, such as dielectric materials or other nearby charges. It is intended for educational purposes and not for complex physics simulations or electrical engineering work where more sophisticated calculations are necessary.
