Question

Choose the correct statement regarding electric lines of force

• A. They emerged from negative charge and terminate at positive charge.
• B. The electric field in that region is weak where the density of electric lines of force are more.
• C. They are in radial directions for a point charge.
• D. The have a physical existence.

Answer 1

The correct option is C They are in radial directions for a point charge.

The properties of electric lines of force is
$\left(i\right)$ The electric lines of force originates from positive charge and terminate at negative charge.
$\left(ii\right)$ The electric field in the region is strong where electric lines of force are more.
$\left(iii\right)$ They are radial for point charge.
$\left(iv\right)$ They do not have any physical existence.

From the properties of electric lines, the correct statement is-
They are in radial directions for a point charge.
