No. Lines of the electrostatic field don't intersect.
A 'line' of the electrostatic field is an imaginary thing that shows the force on a
tiny 'test charge' placed at any point. If two 'lines' intersected, it would mean that
a tiny test charge at that point would feel a force in two different directions, and
would have a choice of which way to go. But that doesn't happen ... the force at
any point in the field is in a single, definite direction.

Why it is possible to define an electrostatic potential in a region of space that contains an electrostatic field?
Because there is an electrostatic field in that region of space
Can two different equipotential lines cross each other?
No. If two equipotential surfaces intersect, then there would be two values of electric potential at the point of intersection, which is not possible.
What is the force that one object exerts on other when they are not touching?
Gravity is one. However, magnetic and electrostatic forces are also possible.
You want to know about electrostatic chapter with their derivation?
i want to know the important qoestions from the electrostatic
What are some useful electrostatic charges?
Some useful electrostatic charges are; static electricity, and full electricity
Do intersecting lines always intersect at right angles?
No. Lines can intersect at any possible angle.
What are lines in the same plane that are not parallel and do not intersect?
If they are not parallel and do not intersect then they would not be in the same plane (not possible), but they would be called skew lines.
What is parallel planes?
Lines in the same plane that do not intersect Lines in the same plane that do not intersect Lines in the same plane that do not intersect Lines in the same plane that do not intersect
What is the term for lines that don't intersect?
Coplanar lines that don't intersect are parallel. Lines that are not parallel and do not intersect are skew lines.
Do parallel intersect?
no they are straight lines that never intersect, intersecting lines intersect.
Do skew lines always intersect?
Skew lines never intersect. If two lines intersect, then they are known as "intersecting lines", not skew lines.
Do lines that skew intersect?
No. Skew lines do not intersect
Which phrase describes perpendicular lines the lines never touch or the lines intersect at a right angle or the lines intersect at an acute angle or the lines intersect at a obtuse angle?
Lines that intersect at right angles.
What are 2 lines that do not and will not intersect?
2 lines that do not and will not intersect are called parallel lines.
Lines never intersect?
Parallel lines never intersect
What are lines that do not intersect called?
Lines that never intersect are parallel.
What are two lines that don't intersect?
Parallel lines do not intersect.
