Michael Faraday Electric Field The Electric Field Lines 1791 - 1867 The rules for drawing electric field lines are as follows: 1. The number of lines drawn leaving a positive charge or approaching a negative charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge. 2. No two field lines can cross. 3. The lines must begin on a positive charge and terminate on a negative charge. In the case of an excess of one type of charge, some lines will begin or end infinitely far away.

Gauss’s law follows from the inverse square aspect of Coulomb’s law
TRUE or FALSE? All particles contribute to the electric field at point P on the surface. The net flux of electric field through the surface due to q 3 and q 4 is zero. The net flux of electric field through the surface due to q 1 and q 2 is proportional to (q 1 + q 2 ). All True A F Gauss’ Law
