Out of the following statements which is NOT the characteristics of electric lines of force? (a) Electric lines of force originate from a positively charged object and end on negatively charged object. (b) The electric lines of force do not intersect each other. (c) The electric lines of force pass through the conductor. (d) The electric lines of force are crowded in a region where electric intensity is large.

Answer: (c). (a), (b) and (d) are true properties of field lines. Inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium E = 0, so field lines do not pass through a conductor; they meet its surface normally. So the answer is (c).

Electric Field & Field Lines

Out of the following statements which is NOT the characteristics of electric lines of force?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

(a), (b) and (d) are true properties of field lines.
Inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium $E = 0$ , so field lines do not pass through a conductor; they meet its surface normally.
So the answer is (c).
