Is an electric field of the type shown by the electric lines in fig. physically possible?
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, in given hypothetical field lines electric field is strong at bottom and week at top. If we move a charge in a close path some work will be done by electric field, but in an electric field no work is done in close path
