An electrostatic field line is a continuous curve. That is , a field line cannot have sudden breaks. Why not? (b)Explain why two field lines nevercross each other at anypoint.

Answer»

Solution :Electric FIELD is CONTINUOUS and exists at all POINTS around a charges distribution. Hence an electrostatic field line is a continuous curve and cannot have sudden breaks.
(b) TWO field lines nevercross each other , because if they do so then at the point. Of intersection there will be two possible directions of electric field, which is IMPOSSIBLE.
