line of force

• Линия в силовом поле, таком как электрическое или магнитное поле, которая показывает направление силы в любой точке вдоль неё. Используется в основном в физике для визуализации векторных полей.

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.
