-- The idea behind drawing Electric field lines is easy. You calculate the electric field (like we did yesterday) at different points, with an emphasis on the direction of the electric field. If you find the direction of the Electric field at enough points, you will get something that looks very similar to the electric field diagrams from previous slides.
