Pick out the statement which is incorrect?

A

A negative test charge experiences a force opposite to the direction of the field

B

The tangent drawn to a line of force represents the direction of electric field

C

Field lines never intersect

D

The electric lines forms closed loop

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Electric field lines does not form closed loop, as field line can never start and end on the same charge. So, the option (d) is incorrect.
