Best Answer

For parallel electrodes, the field lines are all parallel to each other, since each electrode acts as an equipotential surface, meaning it has the same potential throughout its entire surface, except at the ends, where the field lines are no longer parallel to the other field lines. Hope this helps!

What is electric lines of force?

electric lines of force are imaginary lines defined by the paths traced by unit charges placed in an electric field. Lines of force are everywhere parallel to the electric field strength vector. Their principal use is as a convenient means of picturing the geometry of an electric field.


What type of magnetic field lines represent uniform magnetic field?

straight parallel lines


Is there a way you can you tell if the corresponding lines are parallel?

If you can find the slope of both lines, then yes you can tell. The slope for parallel lines is the same - so if your slopes are the same, your lines are parallel. If you are measuring (less exact) the lines will be the same distance apart everywhere.


Are magnetic field lines perpendicular to magnets?

Magnetic field lines are usually depicted as curved lines extending away from the source. They are neither parallel or perpendicular (though they appear more parallel than perpendicular).


When do you use parallel lines in everyday life?

parallel lines are everywhere. They are on the desk you are at, the windows, the very monitor you are looking at. Any two lines that run next to each other are parallel, and without this, very few things would be straight.


What occurs to the magnetic field lines when the magnets have opposite poles facing each other?

The field lines are parallel and create an attractive force field.


What lines are parelle to the prime meridian?

No lines are parallel to the Prime Meridian. All of the meridians of longitude are farthest apart at the equator, and all converge at the north and south poles. Parallel lines would be the same distance apart everywhere, and never meet.


Are 2 lines have no common point is always parallel?

In a 2 dimensional plain they would have to be parallel in order to have no common point; in a 3 dimensional field they do not have to be parallel.


Can lines be wavy?

Parallel-being everywhere equidistant and not intersectingLine-A geometric object that is straight, infinitely long and infinitely thin.So two "wavy lines" (that never intersect and are equidistant) would fulfill the definition of "parallel," but not of "line."


How many pairs of parallel lines has a trapezium?

It depends on where you are. If in the USA, a trapezium has no parallel sides. For everywhere else, a trapezium has one set of parellel sides (which is called a trapezoid in USA).


When are two lines nonintersecting?

When two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect.


Are parallel lines actually parallel?

If they were not actually parallel then they would not be parallel lines!
