Assertion : Electric lines of force cross each other.
Reason: Electric field at a point supermpose to give one resultant electric field.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
If electric field lines cross each other, then at that point E has 2 directions which is not possible.

Which of the following is correct regarding electric lines of force ? (i) Electric lines of force diverge from +ve and converge at a -ve charge (ii) Electric lines of force never cross each other , otherwise there will be two directions of electric field at a point of intersection which is not possible (iii) Closer are the electric lines of forces , stronger is the field , and further apart lines of force ,weaker is electric field (iv) The electric lines of forces are parallel for a uniform electric field

In a region, where electric field intensity is 5 N/C, 50 electric lines of force are crossing per sq. metre. The number of electric lines of force crossing perr sq. metre where electric field intensity is 20 N/C, will be
