14 Electric Field 1.3<br />

+2<br />

-3<br />

The second style has curved field lines that follow the direction of the<br />

electric field. Check to see that the arrows are parallel to the field lines<br />

at the base of the arrow. This type of graph clearly shows the direction<br />

of the field. You can get an idea of the magnitude of the field by how<br />

close the field lines are to each other: the field is strong where the field<br />

lines are close together. Here is a graph showing just the field lines.
