Answer :

The propertiesof Electric Lines are :
1.Lines of force start from a +ve charge and end at the -ve charge.
2.Lines of force do not intersect each other,if they do as,at the poin of intersection lines of force will have two directions and that is not possible.
3 .Lines of force contract longitudannally in case of 2 unlike charges and exert a lateral presssure btwn 2 like charges.
4.Lines of force do not form any closed loops.
5.electric lines of force do not pass through a charged conducto r,as the electric field inside a charged conductor is zero.
6.In a charge free region,electri lines of force can be taken as continous curves.

Thanks.
