r q1 The Coulomb force is F= kq1q0/r2 The force per unit charge is E = F/q0 and then the electric field at r is E = kq1/r2 due to the point charge q1 . The units are Newton/Coulomb. The electric field has direction and is a vector. How do we find the direction.? The direction is the direction a unit positive test charge would move. r E If q1 were positive + q0

Electric Field Lines: a graphic concept used to draw pictures as an aid to develop intuition about its behavior.
The text shows a few examples. Here are the drawing rules.
E-field lines begin on + charges and end on - charges. (or infinity). They enter or leave charge symmetrically. The number of lines entering or leaving a charge is proportional to the charge The density of lines indicates the strength of E at that point. At large distances from a system of charges, the lines become isotropic and radial as from a single point charge equal to the net charge of the system. No two field lines can cross.
