why electric field lines donot form closed loops

the field lines strt or diverge from the positive charges and terminate (or converge) on negative charges. If the electric field lines form closed loops these lines must originate and terminate on the same charge which is noyt possible. ...so electric field lines can form closed loops

raminder1: rectify ur answer plz
raminder1: there r some errors
khushi906: okay ask ?
raminder1: no
raminder1: just set your answer

Electric Field is a characteristic or property of a Space Produced by Charge Particle...

Note that Source of an Electric field is a charge particle as E = kQ / r^2
E Depends on Q...

Electric field lines are starts from positive charge and terminate at Negative Charge...

To form a closed loop Electric field lines should also start from negative charge and terminate at Positive charge...But this doesnt happen at all...

As Electric field lines from a Point charge are always Radially Outward whereas E-Lines are Radially inward due to negative charge...
This is reason why Electric field lines do not form close loop...
see Snap for clarity...
