Statement I: The relative closeness of electric field lines does not indicate the relative strength of electric field.
Statement II: Electrostatic field lines do not form closed loops.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The electric field strength is determined by the density of field lines, the more lines per unit area, stronger the electric field. Therefore, Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
