To graphically represent the electric field we use the concept of lines of force: lines which are tangent at each point to the field intensity vector at this point. The visual shows us their characteristics. Study what the field created by a positive charge, by a negative charge and by pairs of charges of equal or different values, is like. For each case draw at least 6 lines of force. Don't forget to click on the init control.
