ELECTRICAL FIELD LINES

ELECTRICAL FIELD LINES:-

                                       Electrical field lines can be thought of a "map"that provide information about the directions and strength of electrical fields at various places. As the electrical field lines provide the information about electrical force exerted on a charge. These lines are commonly called "lines of force". For any given location the arrow point in the direction of the electrical field and their length is proportional to strength of the electrical field at that location. Such vector arrows are shown in the fig. Note that the length of arrow are longer where closer to the source charge and shorter when away from source charge.
