two important characteris tics of the electric field: (1) ~ E is a vector quantity with magnitude directly proportional to force and with direction given by the direction of the force on a positive test charge. (2) ~ E ha s units of newtons per coulomb (N/C), which are the same as volts per meter (V/m), since volts ¼ newtons · meters/coulombs
