QUESTION:- an electrostatic field line is a continuous curve . That is A field lines cannot have sudden breaks . Why not ?


ANSWER;- the tangent at any point on the electric field line gives the direction of field at that point.so the electric field line is generally curved , they are continuous curves and cannot have sudden break .a sudden break will indicate the absence of electric field at that point

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.
