Felds, Charges, and Feld Lnes Electrc charges create electrc felds. (Gauss Law) Electrc feld lnes begn on + charges and end on - charges. Lke charges repel, oppostes attract. Start wth same dea for magnetc felds Magnetc feld lnes begn on North(+) poles and end on South(-) poles. Lke poles repel, oppostes attract. Important dfference: N & S poles alwas occur together! No magnetc monopoles (solated magnetc charges) Basc element of sources of magnetc feld s the magnetc dpole.
