Geometric description of electric field

  • Field Lines: Draw lines so that at each point, their tangent matches the direction of
  • Density: The number of lines per unit area (normal to the lines) is proportional to .
  • Direction: Arrows on the lines indicate the direction of .
  • Interpretation: This visual map shows both the direction and magnitude of across space.
