Question

Which of the following statements are true for electric field lines? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. Electric field lines point away from positive charges and toward negative charges. Electric field lines are continuous; they do not have a beginning or an ending. Electric field lines can never intersect. Electric field lines are close together in regions of space where the magnitude the electric field is weak and are father apart where it is strong. At every point in space, the electric field vector at that point is tangent to the electric field line through that point.

Answer 1

Answer:

Electric field lines point away from positive charges and toward negative charges. True

Electric field lines are continuous; they do not have a beginning or an ending. False

Electric field lines can never intersect. True

Electric field lines are close together in regions of space where the magnitude the electric field is weak and are father apart where it is strong. False

At every point in space, the electric field vector at that point is tangent to the electric field line through that point. True

Explanation:

Electric field lines point away from positive charges and toward negative charges. Always the field lines go to negative charges and leave from positive charges.

Electric field lines are continuous; they do not have a beginning or an ending. False  

Because the field lines starts at positive charges and ends in negative charges.

Electric field lines can never intersect. True

It can not intercept the field lines because in that point the the field would have two directions. Besides, in that point the real value of the field should be found adding both field lines.

Electric field lines are close together in regions of space where the magnitude the electric field is weak and are father apart where it is strong. False

This fact is opposite to that so the regions of space where the magnitude the electric field is weak the lines are father apart and where the field is strong  the lines are close together.

At every point in space, the electric field vector at that point is tangent to the electric field line through that point. True

This statement correspond to the definition of the field line.
