The number of electric lines that emerge from a finite charge +q is _____

  1. A infinite
  2. B any finite number but not equal to zero
  3. C proportional to the charge
  4. D zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) proportional to the charge

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the gauss theorem, the relation between electric field lines and charge can be established, E·∆s=+qε0 Therefore, the number of electric field lines or electric field intensity is directly proportional to charge.
