Which of the following statement is correct?

Options

  1. AElectric lines of force originate from a -vely charged object and terminate on a +vely charged object.
  2. BThe electric line of force do not pass through an insulator but can pass through a conductor.
  3. CThe electric line of force do not intersect each other.
  4. DElectric intensity is small in' a region where the lines of force are crowded.

Correct answer

C. The electric line of force do not intersect each other.

Step-by-step solution

Some properties of electric lines of force: Electric lines of force are imaginary lines. They are a geometrical representation of an electric field. A tangent to the line of force indicates the direction of the electric field. Electric lines of force are always normal to the surface of a charged body. Two electric lines of force cannot intersect each other. There are no lines of force inside a conductor. The number density of electric lines of force is proportional to electric field intensity. Electric lines of for
