To derive the expression for electric field intensity (E) at a point due to a point charge (Q), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Concept of Electric Field The electric field (E) at a point in space is defined as the force (F) experienced by a unit positive charge (Q₀) placed at that point. ### Step 2: Coulomb's Law According to Coulomb's Law, the force (F) between two point charges (Q and Q₀) separated by a distance (r) is given by: \[ ...
