Why electric field lines do not for a close loop

hello@

here is u r answer ##

A force is said to be conservative if its work along a trajectory to go from a point AA to a point BB is equal to the difference U(A)−U(B)U(A)−U(B) where UU is a function called potential energy. This implies that if A=BA=B then there is no change in potential energy. This fact is independent of the increase or not of the kinetic energy.

If a conservative force were to form loops, it could provide a non zero net work (because the direction of the force could always be the same as that of the looping trajectory) to go from A and then back to A, while at the same time its conservative character would ensure that this work should be zero; which is a contradiction.

Hence, "conservative force" and "forming loops" are two incompatible properties that cannot be satisfied at the same time

Answer:

mark me as brainliest and support me to give more valuble answers

Explanation:

Electric field lines do not form closed loops because the direction of an electric field is from positive to negative charge. So one can regard a line of force starting from a positive charge and ending on a negative charge. This indicates that electric field lines do not form closed loops.
