Compact U(1) lattice gauge theory in four dimensions is studied by means ofan efficient algorithm which exploits the duality transformation properties ofthe model. We focus our attention onto the confining regime, considering theinterquark potential and force, and the electric field induced by twoinfinitely heavy sources. We consider both the zero and finite temperaturesetting, and compare the theoretical predictions derived from the effectivestring model and the dual superconductor scenario to the numerical results.Comment: 31 pages, 16 eps figures; v2: references added; v3: footnote added, summation ranges in section 4 made explicit, version published in JHE
