Pick out the statement which is incorrect.
Options
- AThe tangent drawn to a line of force represents the direction of electric field.
- BThe electric field lines forms closed loop.
- CA negative test charge experiences a force opposite to the direction of the field.
- DField lines never intersect.
Correct answer
B. The electric field lines forms closed loop.
Step-by-step solution
Statement 1 is correct - The tangent drawn to a line of force represents the direction of electric field. Statement 2 is incorrect - The electric field lines never form closed loops. Statement 3 is correct - A negative test charge experiences a force opposite to the direction of the field Statement 4 is correct - Field lines never intersect.
