Question

Five properties of electric field lines

Answer 1

Answer:

The following are the properties of an electric field.

Field lines never intersect each other.

They are perpendicular to the surface charge.

The field is strong when the lines are close together, and it is weak when the field lines move apart from each other.

The number of field lines is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge.

Properties of electric field lines :-

• Electric field lines always begin on a positive charge and end on a negative charge, so they do not form closed curves.

• The number of electric field lines leaving a positive charge or entering a negative charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge.

• Electric field lines never intersect.

• In an uniform electric field, the field lines are straight, parallel and uniformly spaced.

• The electric field lines can never form closed loops, as line can never start and end on the same charge.

• These field lines always flow from higher potential to lower potential.
