The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the properties of electric lines of force, we will analyze each option provided and determine which statements are true based on the principles of electric fields. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electric Lines of Force**: - Electric lines of force are conceptual tools used to visualize electric fields. They represent the direction and strength of the electric field created by electric charges. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - **Statement**: "Electric lines of force are just imaginary lines." - **Evaluation**: This statement is true. Electric lines of force are indeed imaginary constructs that help us understand electric fields, as they cannot be seen directly. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - **Statement**: "Electric lines of force will be parallel to the surface of the conductor." - **Evaluation**: This statement is false. Electric lines of force are always perpendicular to the surface of a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium. This is because the electric field inside a conductor is zero, and thus the lines of force cannot be parallel to the surface. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - **Statement**: "If the lines of force are crowded, then the field is strong." - **Evaluation**: This statement is true. When electric lines of force are closer together (crowded), it indicates a stronger electric field in that region. The density of the lines correlates with the strength of the electric field. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - **Statement**: "Electric lines of force are closed loops." - **Evaluation**: This statement is false. Electric lines of force do not form closed loops; they originate from positive charges and terminate at negative charges. They do not return to the same charge. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the evaluations: - Option A is true. - Option B is false. - Option C is true. - Option D is false. - Therefore, the correct answers are A and C. ### Final Answer: The properties of the electric line of force are: - A. Electric lines of force are just imaginary lines (True). - C. If the lines of force are crowded, then the field is strong (True).
