What are the dimensions of an electric field?

We know that the electrostatic force = Kq1q2/r2

And the electric field= kq1/r2

We can also say that field=force/charge

Now force = mass * accn

Accn = metre / time2

Dimensions of force = M1L1T-2

Charge = I(current), * time

The dimensions of the charge = A1T1

This is how the field dimensions are = M1L1T/A1T1 =

= M1L1T^-3 A^-1

We are grateful for his help. !
