Definition

Electric field strength has the dimension $\mathsf {M L T^{-3} I^{-1} }$.

This arises from its definition as:

force, with dimension $\mathsf {M L T}^{-2}$
per unit electric charge, with dimension $\mathsf {I T}$.


Also defined as

For systems which use electric charge instead of electric current as one of the fundamental dimensions:

$\mathsf {M L T^{-2} Q^{-1} }$
