  1. "No" to the above answer, D is not the field intensity.  E is the field intensity (and also the "name" of the field).  His own reference shows what is wrong with the answer.  Herein lies the problem with cutting and pasting Wikipedia pages that one does not understand.

    It just gets down to the definition.  The field intensity is the numerical value of the field at some point.  It is just that simple.  No need for different letters.  E is the field and its intensity depends upon the geometry of the charges that comprise the field.

  2. Yes, the electric displacement field (D).
