     • Fields are usually shown as diagrams with arrows: The direction of the arrow shows the way a positive charge will be pushed. The closer together the arrows are, the stronger the field and the greater the force experienced by charges in that field. This means that the field is stronger closer to the object.

   Feb 2, 2023 · Electric field lines or electric lines of force are imaginary lines drawn to represent the electric field visually. Since the electric field is a vector quantity, it has both magnitude and direction. Suppose one looks at the image below. The arrows indicate the electric field lines, and they point in the direction of the electric field.

   This convention is depicted in the diagram below. Not only does the density of lines surrounding any given object reveal information about the quantity of charge on the source charge, the density of lines at a specific location in space reveals information about the strength of the field at that location. Consider the object shown at the right.

   What is the difference between a field diagram and a vector diagram?

   • In both diagrams, the magnitude of the field is indicated by the field line density. The field vectors (not shown here) are everywhere tangent to the field lines. Although it may not be obvious at first glance, these field diagrams convey the same information about the electric field as do the vector diagrams.

   What is a field line diagram?

   • It consists of an imaginary integral curve which is tangent to the field vector at each point along its length. A diagram showing a representative set of neighboring field lines is a common way of depicting a vector field in scientific and mathematical literature; this is called a field line diagram.

   What are the rules for creating an electric field diagram?

   • The rules for creating an electric field diagram are as follows. Electric field lines either originate on positive charges or come in from infinity, and either terminate on negative charges or extend out to infinity. The number of field lines originating or terminating at a charge is proportional to the magnitude of that charge.

   How do I build an accurate electric field diagram?

   • The ability to construct an accurate electric field diagram is an important, useful skill; it makes it much easier to estimate, predict, and therefore calculate the electric field of a source charge. The best way to develop this skill is with software that allows you to place source charges and then will draw the net field upon request.

   Why is a vector field diagram difficult to understand?

   • Even with just two identical charges, the vector field diagram becomes difficult to understand. There is a more useful way to present the same information. Rather than drawing a large number of increasingly smaller vector arrows, we instead connect all of them together, forming continuous lines and curves, as shown in Figure 1.6.3.
