Why in the equation E=v/d E units are coulomb
« on: October 28, 2022, 03:45:02 AM »
Hi,
I don't understand how volt/m=C.
because C is A*s
and v is J/C

I'm probably just doing it wrong, can someone explain me?

In which context is this all.v is it speed? Or what. V is volume.
What is m?  Mass?

J/C = U => J = Ws = VAs and C = As => VAs/As = V voltage.

Assuming from the context you mean V - volt (electric potential), m - meter (distance unit), C - coulomb (charge unit) - it is not, so whole discussion is a moot.

[tex]V = \frac {potential~~energy}{charge} = \frac J C = \frac {kg\times m^2}{C\times s^2} = \frac {kg\times m^2}{A\times s^3}[/tex]

V/m is an electric field unit.

Integrating the electric flux over a closed surface will yield electric charge inside the surface (Gauss law), so these are all closely related units and and ideas, but they don't produce the relationship you stated.

Are you confusing E (electric field strength, in V/m) with e (elementary charge, in C)?
