The electric lines of force do not passes through

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a metal object in kept inside electric field the free electrons distribute themselves in such a manner that the net electric field intensity everywhere inside the metal becomes zero. So, electric lines of forces either originate or terminate on the surface of metal.
