Field Quantities

E
Electrical field intensity (V/m).
Defined as the electric force on a unit charge. Only vector needed in discussing electrostatics (effects of stationary electric charge) in free space.
D
Electric flux density or electric displacement (C/m2).
Useful in the study of electric field in material media.
B
Magnetic flux density (T, Tesla, V-sec/m2).
Magnetic force acting on a charge moving with a given velocity. Only vector is needed in discussing magneto statics (effects of steady electric currents) in free space.
H
Magnetic field intensity (A/m).
Useful in the study of magnetic field in material media.
