Top 11 Properties of Electric Field Lines Explained with Examples for Class 10 Students

Properties of Electric Field Lines

Properties of Electric Lines of Force

1. Each electric lines of force is conceptually imagined it does not have any physical existence.
2. Total number of lines of force emanated from a charge body is equal to the charge of the body measured in Coulomb.
3. Each electric lines of force is originated from positive charge and terminated to the negative charge.
4. A tangent drawn at any point on an electric line of force, indicates the direction electric field at that point in the field.
5. Each electric line of force emanates normally from the surface of the charge body.
6. Electric lines of force can only contract longitudinally.
7. Electric lines of force can expand laterally.
8. No two electric lines of force cross each other.
9. The electric lines of force in same direction repel each other.
10. The electric lines of force in opposite direction attract each other.
11. No lines of force can exists inside the conductor.
