  2. Field line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_line

    Field lines depicting the electric field created by a positive charge (left), negative charge (center), and uncharged object (right). A field line is a graphical visual aid for visualizing vector fields. It consists of an imaginary integral curve which is tangent to the field vector at each point along its length.

  3. Projective space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_space

    For example, in the case of n = 1, that is of a projective line, there are only two U i, which can each be identified to a copy of the real line. In both lines, the intersection of the two charts is the set of nonzero real numbers, and the transition map is in both directions. The image represents the projective line as a circle where antipodal ...

  4. Curvilinear coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_coordinates

    The local (non-unit) basis vector is b 1 (notated h 1 above, with b reserved for unit vectors) and it is built on the q 1 axis which is a tangent to that coordinate line at the point P. The axis q 1 and thus the vector b 1 form an angle α {\displaystyle \alpha } with the Cartesian x axis and the Cartesian basis vector e 1 .

  5. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    For example, when α is the ground plane and β is the horizon plane, then the vanishing line of α is the horizon line β ∩ π. To put it simply, the vanishing line of some plane, say α, is obtained by the intersection of the image plane with another plane, say β, parallel to the plane of interest (α), passing

  6. Flux tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_tube

    This set forms a hollow tube. The tube follows the field lines, possibly turning, twisting, and changing its cross sectional size and shape as the field lines converge or diverge. Since no field lines pass through the tube walls there is no flux through the walls of the tube, so all the field lines enter and leave through the end surfaces. Thus ...

  7. Closed and exact differential forms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_and_exact...

    The term incompressible is used because a non-zero divergence corresponds to the presence of sources and sinks in analogy with a fluid. The concepts of conservative and incompressible vector fields generalize to n dimensions, because gradient and divergence generalize to n dimensions; curl is defined only in three dimensions, thus the concept ...

  8. Projective line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_line

    In mathematics, a projective line is, roughly speaking, the extension of a usual line by a point called a point at infinity.The statement and the proof of many theorems of geometry are simplified by the resultant elimination of special cases; for example, two distinct projective lines in a projective plane meet in exactly one point (there is no "parallel" case).

  9. 180-degree rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/180-degree_rule

    The rule also applies to the movement of a character as the "line" created by the path of the character. For example, if a character is walking in a leftward direction and is to be picked up by another camera, the character must exit the first shot on frame left and enter the next shot frame right. A jump cut can be utilized to denote time. If ...
