The electricfield E due to a point charge at any point near it is defined as "" E= underset( q_0to 0) lim (F)/(q_0)Draw the electric field lines of a point chargeQ when (i)Q gt 0, and (ii)Q lt 0.

Answer»

SOLUTION :In the definition of ELECTRIC field E we TAKE test CHARGE `q_0` as small as possible so that presence of test charge does not AFFECT the electric field at all. That.s why we consider ` undersetto (qto 0) lim `
Electric field lines of a point charge (i) ` Q gt 0, and (ii) Q lt 0 ` have been plotted in respectively.
