electrical line of force

• Línea imaginaria o trayectoria en un campo eléctrico a lo largo de la cual se movería una carga de prueba positiva, utilizada para visualizar la dirección y la intensidad del campo eléctrico.

An imaginary line or path in an electric field along which a positive test charge would move, used to visualize the direction and strength of the electric field.

   • The electrical lines of force emanate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges.
   • In a uniform electric field, the lines of force are parallel and equally spaced.
   • The density of electrical lines of force indicates the strength of the electric field.
