Question
The ________ at a point on the field lines gives the direction of the electric field.
- Tangent
- Normal
- Zero
- Reflex
Hint:
An electric field line is an imaginary line or curve drawn through a region of empty space
The correct answer is: Tangent
An electric field line is an imaginary line or curve drawn through a region of empty space so that its tangent at any point is in the direction of the electric field vector at that point. The relative closeness of the lines at some place gives an idea about the intensity of electric field at that point.
