I think you mean "cross". And furthermore I think you mean the old iron filings around a bar magnet demonstration showing "magnetic lines of force". With all this guessing I propose an answer that your teacher won't like either: They don't cross because they don't exist. To prove this-- Sprinkle the iron filings on paper with a magnet beolw the sheet. Notice that they don't move. Photograph it. Do the experiment again. Photgraph this too and compare the two photos. They will be quite different showing that the "lines of force" are only an artifact of iron filings being sprinkled onto the paper.

What are three facts about electric field lines?

1. Electric field lines of force originate from the positive charge and terminate at the negative charge. 2. Electric field lines of force can never intersect each other. 3. Electric field lines of force are not present inside the conductor, it is because electric field inside the conductor is always zero. 4. Electric field lines of force are always perpendicular to the surface of conductor. 5. Curved electric field lines are always non-uniform in nature.


Can electric field lines evercross?

no, never.

What are the following correctly describe electric field lines?

If we place a charged body to a position it feel a force which depends the presence of other charged body around it. Now we can say something was there in that position before placing that charged body. Here arise a concept of electric field.Electric field is defined as the electric force per unit charge. The direction of the field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge. The electric field is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge. A simple isolated electron in an earth can create an electric field in the moon eventhough its negligible.


Why magnetic lines of force never intersect?

Do electric field lines cross?

No, electric field lines do not cross each other. If they did, it would imply that there are multiple directions for the electric field at the same point, which is not possible. The electric field lines always repel or attract each other, but they never cross.


Why 2 magnetic fields cannot cross each other?

the tangent at any point on an electric field line gives the direction of the field at that point . so if field lines intersect then electric field at will have more than1 direction which is impossible


What are the rules for electric field lines?

Electric field lines are drawn to represent the direction of the electric field at various points in space. They follow specific rules: they originate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges, they never intersect, the density of lines indicates the strength of the electric field, and they are perpendicular to the surface of a conductor at equilibrium.

How can one effectively draw electric field lines?

To effectively draw electric field lines, start by placing positive charges as the source and negative charges as the sink. Draw lines that start at positive charges and end at negative charges, with the lines closer together indicating stronger electric fields. Remember that electric field lines never cross and always point away from positive charges and towards negative charges.


What are the field lines associated with a uniform electric field and how do they behave?

Field lines associated with a uniform electric field are straight and evenly spaced. They point in the direction of the electric field and show the path a positive test charge would follow. The field lines never intersect and are closer together where the field is stronger.
