Question

The electric field lines due to a charge distribution have the following characteristics: (true or false)

Electric field lines always begin on a negative point charge and are directed away from that charge.

The electric field is zero everywhere inside a conductor even when a static charge is on the surface.

The number of lines per unit area is proportional to the magnitude of the electrostatic force per unit charge placed at that position.

Field lines always have a single unique direction at every point and therefore two field lines cannot cross each other.

Statement- 1 is False

because the field lines directed towards the negative charge;

Statement- 2 is TRUE

Because thre are no free charges inside a conductor

Statement -3 is TRUE

Because Flux= Electric field * Area,

Flux/area= Electirc field = Force/charge

Statement- 4:True

Directions are unique in direction but they never cross each other, if they cross they can not have unique direction.
