Assertion : Electric lines of force never cross each other.

Reason : Electric field at a point superimpose to give one resultant electric field.

If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Solution

Electric lines of force never cross each other. Electric field at a point add up vectorally to give one resultant electric field. So, they do not have independent existence at the point of superposition so, electric lines of force do not cross each other (crossing of electric lines of force at a point means at a point two fields are having independent existence).

In figure a point charge $+Q_1$ is at the centre of an imaginary spherical surface and another point charge $+Q_2$ is outside it. Point $P$ is on the surface of the sphere. Let ${\Phi _s}$be the net electric flux through the sphere and ${\vec E_p}$ be the electric field at point $P$ on the sphere. Which of the following statements is $TRUE$ ?
