Properties of Electric Lines of Force
1)The tangent to the line of force at a point gives the direction of Electric field intensity at that point.
2) Electric lines of forces never cross each other. This point can be cleared easily through a figure.
Let us suppose that two lines intersect at a point. So draw tangents to that point along the lines of force. You will see that their will be two directions of the electric field intensity at a single point, which is not possible.electrostatic 2.26
3)Electric Lines of Force start from positive charges and end at negative charges.
4)They do not form any closed loop
Answer:
Properties of an Electric Field
1.Field lines never intersect each other.
2.They are perpendicular to the surface charge.
3.The field is strong when the lines are close together, and it is weak when the field lines move apart from each other.
4.The number of field lines is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge.
