line of force

• Eine Linie in einem Kraftfeld, wie einem elektrischen oder magnetischen Feld, die die Richtung der Kraft an jedem Punkt entlang der Linie anzeigt. Wird hauptsächlich in der Physik zur Visualisierung von Vektorfeldern verwendet.

A line in a field of force, such as an electric or magnetic field, that shows the direction of the force at any point along it. Used primarily in physics to visualize vector fields.

   • The lines of force around a magnet can be visualized using iron filings.
   • Electric field lines of force start on positive charges and end on negative charges.
   • The concept of lines of force was introduced by Michael Faraday.
