Characteristics of electric field lines
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 5 months ago

Electric field lines generally show the properties to account for nature of electric fields. Some general properties of these lines are as follows:

  • Electric field lines start from a positive charge and end at a negative charge, in case of a single charge, electric field lines end at infinity
  • In a charge-free region, electric field lines are continuous and smooth
  • Two electric field lines never intersect or cross each other, as if they do, there will be two vectors depicting two directions of the same electric field, which is not possible
  • These lines never form a closed loop. This is because an electric field is conservative in nature and hence the lines don’t form a closed loop.
