两百年来，自法拉第首次提出场线概念以来，学生们对这些定义明确的数学对象一直存在错误且无根据的认知。最突出的误解包括：（1）将场线视为“力线”；（2）认为场线与粒子轨迹重合；（3）认为场线密度可衡量矢量场的大小；（4）认为无散场的场线总是形成闭合回路。甚至现代文献也在系统地延续其中一些说法。本文整理了反驳这些说法的简单反例，为物理教师提供了一种高效且有效的方法来消除这些误解。
英文摘要
For two hundred years - ever since Faraday's first conception of the field lines - hearts and minds of students have been pervaded by erroneous and unsubstantiated claims about these well defined mathematical objects. The most prominent misconceptions include: (1) a notion of the field lines as of 'lines of force'; (2) a notion that the field lines coincide with particle trajectories; (3) a notion that a field line density measures a magnitude of a vector field; (4) a notion that the field lines of a divergence-free field always form closed loops. Even the modern day literature systematically perpetuates some of these claims. We compile here the trivial counterexamples to these claims, providing physics instructors with an efficient and effective way of dispelling these misconceptions.
