I. Introduction
A field line is an imaginary line or curve in a field The concept of an electric field comes from the
of force. It is useful for visualizing vector fields, such simplest electric systems: two point charges, q1
as an electric field that surrounds a charge or a charged and q2, separated by a distance r. The force

drawn such that the electric field vectors are always Galvanometer, is an instrument for measuring a

Movement along an equipotential surface requires
no work because such movement is always
perpendicular to electric field.
