Question

Why the field lines due to a point charge near a conductor are normal to the conductor at every point?Why the field lines due to a point charge near a conductor are normal to the conductor at every point?

Answer 1

Answer:

As we know that when current is passed through a wire then a magnetic field is generated around the wire or conductor.

The magnetic field line are imaginary line.

The line which are drawn in a magnetic field , along which a North magnetic pole moves is called magnetic field line.

the direction of these lines inside the magnet is from south pole to north pole.

and direction of these lines outside the magnet is from north pole to south pole

The line never intersect each .

they are also called closed curves .

They show the direction of magnetic field.
