MHT CET 2022 Physics question

Identify the WRONG statement in the case of electric field lines

(A)They do not intersect each other
(B)They do not pass through a conductor
(C)They start from a positive charge and end on a negative charge
(D)They do not pass through an insulatorCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

Properties of electric field lines: (A) two lines never cross, otherwise the field at the crossing point would have two directions - true. (B) The electrostatic field inside a conductor is zero, so lines do not pass through the interior of a conductor (they end normally on its surface) - true.
