Draw the electric field lines for a positive point charge.

$(a)$ An electrostatic field line is a continuous curve. That is,a field line cannot have sudden breaks. Why not?
$(b)$ Explain why two field lines never cross each other at any point?

Consider an electric field $\vec{E} = 3 \times 10^3 \hat{i} \text{ N/C}$. What is the flux through a square of side $10 \text{ cm}$ in $Nm^2/C$ if the normal to its plane makes a $60^\circ$ angle with the $X$-axis?

The wrong statement about electric lines of force is:

$A$ charge $q$ is placed inside a hollow cylinder. The electric flux associated with the curved surface $B$ is $\phi$. The flux associated with a plane surface (either $A$ or $C$) will be:

Select the correct statement$(s)$.
$(1)$ The tangent drawn at any point on an electric field line gives the direction of the force acting on a positive charge at that point.
$(2)$ The normal drawn at any point on an electric field line gives the direction of the force acting on a positive charge at that point.
$(3)$ Electric field lines start from a negative charge and end on a positive charge.
$(4)$ Electric field lines start from a positive charge and end on a negative charge.
