Abstract

We study some geometrical and topological properties of the electric fields created by point charges on Riemannian manifolds. Particularly, we characterize the spaces on which the electric lines emanating from a point charge are geodesics, and describe the topological properties of the basin boundary for $N$ point charges. Several open problems will be posed.
