Electric field strength is the measure of the intensity of an electric field.

It is defined as:

$\mathbf E = \dfrac {\mathbf F} q$

where:

$\mathbf E$ denotes the electric field strength at a given point

$\mathbf F$ denotes the force exerted on a test charge $q$ by $\mathbf E$ at that point.

Electric field strength is a vector quantity.
