Step-by-step

  1. E = kQ/r² = (8.988e9 × 0.000001) / 0.1² = 898,755.1787 N/C.

How to use this calculator

  • Pick the mode.
  • Enter charge in Coulombs (or force in N) and distance in meters (or test charge in C).
  • Read field magnitude.

About this calculator

Electric field describes the force per unit charge that a test particle would feel. From a point charge: E = kQ/r² where k = 8.988×10⁹ N·m²/C². Field has units of N/C (equivalently V/m). Point inward from a negative charge, outward from positive.

Frequently asked

k = 8.988 × 10⁹ N·m²/C² (or 1/(4πε₀)). Sometimes called the electrostatic constant.
