NEET Physics Electric Field MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about electric fields is correct?
Electric field lines from a positive charge radiate outward in all directions.
Electric field lines for a negative charge radiate inward towards the charge, forming closed loops.
The density of electric field lines is not related to the strength of the electric field.
Field lines can cross each other in a uniform electric field configuration.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Electric field lines for a single positive charge indeed radiate outward, while those for a negative charge point inward, as described in the NCERT context. The density of the lines does indicate the strength of the field, and field lines do not cross each other.
