Question

The electric field lines due to a charge distribution have the following characteristics: True or False?

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

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

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

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