MHT CET 2025 Physics question

Out of the following statements which is NOT the characteristics of electric lines of force?

(A)Electric lines of force originate from a positively charged object and end on negatively charged object
(B)The electric lines of force do not intersect each other
(C)The electric lines of force pass through the conductorCorrect
(D)The electric lines of force are crowded in a region where electric intensity is large.

Answer: (C)

Solution

Electric lines of force start on positive charges and end on negative charges (A is a property). Two lines cannot cross, otherwise the field at the crossing point would have two directions (B is a property). The density of lines is proportional to the field intensity, so lines crowd
