field of force
A field of force, also known as a force field, is a region in space in which each point is affected by a non-contact force, such as gravity or magnetism. An object within this field will experience a force that is dependent on its location within the field, the properties of the field, and the properties of the object itself.
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Field of Force
The space in the neighborhood of an attracting or repelling mass or system. Of electric fields of force there are two kinds, the Electrostatic and the Magnetic Fields of Force, both of which may be referred to. A field of force may be laid out as a collection of elements termed Lines of Force, and this nomenclature is universally adopted in electricity. The system of lines may be so constructed that (a) the work done in passing from one equipotential surface to the next is always the same; or (b) the lines of force are so laid out and distributed that at a place in which unit force is exercised there is a single line of force passing through the corresponding equipotential surface in each unit of area of that surface. The latter is the universal method in describing electric fields. It secures the following advantages:--First: The potential at any point in the field of space surrounding the attracting or repelling mass or masses is found by determining on which imaginary equipotential surface that point lies. Second: If unit length of a line of force cross n equipotential surfaces, the mean force along that line along the course of that part of it is equal to n units; for the difference of potential of the two ends of that part of the line of force = n; it is also equal to F s (F = force), because it represents numerically a certain amount of work; but s = I, whence n = F. Third: The force at any part of the field corresponds to the extent to which the lines of force are crowded together; and thence it may be determined by the number of lines of force which pass through a unit of area of the corresponding equipotential surface, that area being so chosen as to comprise the point in question. (Daniell.)
