Question
Write any four properties of electric field lines.
✓
Answer
(i) A tangent at any point on electric field line gives direction of electric field at that point.
(ii) Two electric field lines never intersect each other. If they do so, then there will be two tangents at that point and hence two directions of electric field at the same point, which is not possible.
(iii) The distribution of electric field lines in any region of field gives intensity of field in that region.
(iv) Field lines of uniform electric field are equidistant \& parallel to each other.
(v) Field lines of stationary electric charge do not form closed loops.
