Question

An electrostatic field line cannot be discontinuous.Why ?

Answer 1

Answer:

it cannot be discontinuous because an electrostatic field line is fixed and continous

Answer 2

Answer:

• An electrostatic line is a continuous curve, because tangent to it at any point represents the direction in which a test charge kept at that point will experience force.
• It cannot have sudden breaks, because no abrupt force acts on a test charge.
