Question

why electric field lines never intersect each other

Open in App
Solution

We know tangent at any point on the field line gives the direction of field.
When two lines intersect, then there would be two tangents at that point therefore two direction of the field at the particular point.
Which is practically impossible hence two field lines can not intersect.
