Electric Lines of Force

Electric Lines of Force

Definition

An electric lines of force is an Cloze (1): path in the electric field through which a test Cloze (2): charge moves if it is free to do so.

Two electric lines of force proceeding in the same direction Cloze (3): each other.

Two electric lines of force proceeding in the opposite direction Cloze (4): each other.
