Electric Field and Field Lines

How a charge influences the space around it, and how we visualise that influence.

Electric Field

The electric field at a point is the force experienced per unit positive charge placed at that point.

Electric Field Lines

  • They start on positive charges and end on negative charges
  • They never cross each other
  • Their density represents the field's strength
