polarization of a propagating wave is determined by the locus or path described by the electric field vector with respect to time 1, record 4, English, - polarization%20summary
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Polarization is a term that often arises in the literature and when considering radio frequency communication and RFID. If we ascribe an x, y, z co-ordinate system to a propagating wave as illustrated below, with the direction of propagation being in the z direction, the electric field vector E will be in the x, y plane. If E remains in the same orientation with respect to time, so that its locus describes a straight line, the wave is said to be linearly polarized. However, if the locus describes a circular motion with respect to time the wave is said to be circularly polarized. Where the locus describes an elliptical path, the wave is said to be elliptically polarized. 1, record 4, English, - polarization%20summary
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Circular polarization is often used in communication systems since the orientation of the transmitting and receiving antenna is less important than it is with linearly polarized waves. The magnetic vector, H, always remains perpendicular to the E vector. Using an IEEE convention, a clockwise circular rotating wavefront approaching a receiver is defined as being left-hand circular (LHC) polarized. The power in the wavefront is expressed in the form of the Poynting vector, P: P = (E x H) = E x H sin ..., where ... is the phase angle between E and H. 1, record 4, English, - polarization%20summary

A line used to indicate the direction of a field, especially an electric or magnetic field, at various points in space. The tangent of a line of force at each point indicates the orientation of the field at that point. Arrows are usually used to indicate the direction of the force. 2, record 5, English, - field%20line
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A field line is a locus that is defined by a vector field and a starting location within the field. A vector field defines a direction at all points in space; a field line may be constructed by tracing a path in the direction of the vector field. More precisely, the tangent line to the path at each point is required to be parallel to the vector field at that point. Field lines are useful for visualizing vector fields, which consist of a separate individual vector for every location in space. If the vector field describes a velocity field, then the field lines follow stream lines in the flow. Perhaps the most familiar example of a vector field described by field lines is the magnetic field, which is often depicted using field lines emanating from a magnet. 1, record 5, English, - field%20line

En physique et en mathématiques, afin de visualiser un champ vectoriel, on utilise souvent la notion de ligne de champ. C'est, en première approximation, le chemin que l'on suivrait en partant d'un point et en suivant les vecteurs.

Un champ est une zone de l'espace dans laquelle s'exerce une force (gravitationnelle, magnétique, électrostatique ou de toute autre nature). C'est donc une zone où l'espace a des propriétés particulières, où il est perturbé. Cette perturbation est créée par un objet. [...] Le vecteur champ magnétique en un point est tangent à la ligne de force passant par ce point. Une ligne de champ est orientée dans le sens du champ magnétique (du pôle nord de l'aimant vers son pôle sud) et se referme sur elle-même. 5, record 5, French, - ligne%20de%20champ
