Electric Lines of Force

Imaginary lines defined by the paths traced by unit charges placed in an electric field. Lines of force are everywhere parallel to the electric field strength vector. Their principal use is as a convenient means of picturing the geometry of an electric field. See magnetic lines of force. [[/a>|/a> ]]
