Mathematically, the electric field measured at a point is defined as: the value of the test charge per unit force being experienced by the test charge; the force experienced by a source charge at the point per unit source charge; the force experienced by a test charge at the point per unit test charge; the value of the source charge per unit force being experienced by the source charge;
