Electric Field LinesMediumQuestion 31410
Question
Electric field lines:
- ACan intersect each other
- BAre closed loops
- CNever intersect — show direction of E at each pointCorrect
- DAre circular around point charges
Correct answer
Never intersect — show direction of E at each point
Explanation
Field lines represent direction of E at each point. Two lines cannot cross — that would mean E has two directions at one point, which is impossible.
