Expert Answer
Dear student,
Electrostatic filed line line is a curve drawn in such a way that the tangent at each point on the curve gives the direction of electric field at that point.
Important properties of field lines are:
a. Field lines are continuous curves without any breaks.
b. Two field lines cannot cross each other.
c. Electrostatic field lines start at positive charges and end at negative charges – they cannot form closed loops.
Hope this helps.
