Question

Electric lines of force never intersect each other because

• A. Lines of force always repel each other
• B. Lines of force always attract each other
• C. Point of intersection signifies two direction of electric field
• D. From the point of intersection four tangent can be drawn which signifies four direction of field

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Point of intersection signifies two direction of electric field

Electric lines of force never intersect each other because at the point of intersection, two tangents can be drawn to the two lines of force. This means two direction of electric field at the point of intersection, which is not possible.
