[edit] Lines of force?

Magnetic field lines aren't lines of force... I'm not quite sure what the article means to say. --Reuben 06:20, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, it looks like it actually is fairly common for magnetic field lines to be called "lines of force." I was taught that magnetic field lines are not properly lines of force, since the force on a charged particle in a magnetic field is always perpendicular to the field lines, not along them. Oh well. --Reuben 06:28, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
