NEET Physics Electric Field MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about electric fields is correct?
The number of field lines crossing a given area depends on the orientation of that area relative to the electric field.
Electric field lines can cross each other at any point in space.
The strength of the electric field is independent of the charge distribution creating it.
Electric fields can only exist in the presence of a conductive material.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The number of field lines crossing an area is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the area and the electric field, indicating that orientation affects the field lines crossing the area, as stated in the context.
