Question

Which of the following electric field lines configuration is correct?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

We know that,
$\left(1\right)$. Electric lines of force never form a closed loop (starts and end at the same point)
$[$Fail in options $\left(a\right)$ and $\left(d\right)]$

$\left(2\right)$. Electric lines of force diverse perpendicularly from positive charge and converge perpendicularly to negative charge.
$[$Fails in option $\left(b\right)]$

Thus, these two assumptions of the hypothetical concept of electric field lines are correctly represented only in option $\left(c\right)$.

Hence, option $\left(c\right)$ is correct.
