The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about the wrong statement regarding electric lines of force, we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electric Lines of Force**: Electric lines of force represent the direction of the electric field created by charges. They originate from positive charges and terminate at negative charges. 2. **Analyzing Each Statement**: - **Option A**: "These originate from positive charge and end on negative charge." - This statement is **correct**. Electric field lines do indeed start from positive charges and end on negative charges. - **Option B**: "They do not intersect each other at a point." - This statement is also **correct**. If electric field lines were to intersect, it would imply that at that point, there are two different directions for the electric field, which is not possible. - **Option C**: "They have the same form for a point charge and a sphere." - This statement is **correct**. The electric field lines for a point charge and a uniformly charged sphere are similar in shape outside the sphere. - **Option D**: "They have physical existence." - This statement is **incorrect**. Electric field lines are a conceptual tool used to visualize electric fields. They do not have a physical existence in reality. 3. **Conclusion**: The wrong statement about electric lines of force is **Option D**: "They have physical existence."
