Question
Why can't two lines of electric force intersect each other?

Answer

Lines of force do not intersect each other, because if they intersect then two tangent lines at the intersection point will express two resultant fields, which is impossible.

A point source of light moves in a straight line parallel to a plane table. Consider a small portion of the table directly below the line of movement of the source. The illuminance at this portion varies with its distance r from the source as:

  1. $\text{I}\propto\frac{1}{\text{r}}$

  2. $\text{I}\propto\frac{1}{\text{r}^2}$

  3. $\text{I}\propto \frac{1}{\text{r}^3}$

  4. $\text{I}\propto\frac{1}{\text{r}^4}$
