Question

Decide which of the following statement about electric field lines are true, and which are false. (For each statement select T True, F False) A) E-field lines could begin or end in a charge-free region. (We are not counting infinity as a region!). B) E-field lines point outward away from negative charges. C) E-field lines point inward towards positive charges. D) E-field lines can never cross E) Any point charge q will always continually follow exactly along an E-field line, until it reaches infinity or an opposite charge. F) E-field lines make circles around negative charges. G) Where the E-field lines are denser the E-field must be stronger

Explanation / Answer

A)False

The presence of charge is the reason for electric field lines and hence a field around it.

B)False

electric field lines points towars the egative charge.

C)False

electric field lines originates, point out from a positive charge

D)True

The field lines never cross each other, implying that the field has one value at a given point.

E)False

The lines originate from positive charge and terninates on negative.

F)False

The point in to the negative charge.

G)True

The field lines are denser near the chages and field is stronger in magnitude
