Q
4 important properties of Electric Field
A
- Lines start at a positively charged object
and end at a negatively charged object - Field lines must be tangent to the
direction of the field at any point - No two field lines from the same field can
cross each other. - The greater the line density, the greater
the magnitude of the field.
