Electric lines of forces -

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electric lines of forces are geometrical representation of electric field using lines and curves such that a tangent at any point on them gives the direction of electric field at that point. These lines originate from positive charge and terminate at negative charge. The number density of these lines is proportional to electric field intensity
