There will be no electric field lines due to:

There will be no electric field lines due to: Correct Answer Neutron

CONCEPT:

Electric field lines:

  • An electric field line is an imaginary line along which a positive test charge will move if left free.
  • Electric field lines are drawn to represent the electric field.

Properties of electric field lines:

  • Electric field lines start from positive charges and end at negative charges.

  • In a charge-free region, electric field lines can be taken to be continuous curves without any breaks.
  • The tangent at any point on the electric field line gives the direction of the electric field at that point.

  • Electric field lines due to a point charge never intersect each other.
  • The electric field lines never form a closed loop.
  • The density of the electric field lines at a point indicates the strength of the electric field at that point.

EXPLANATION:

  • From the above, it is clear that electric field lines start from positive charges and end at negative charges. I
  • If there is a single positive charge then electric field lines start from positive charge and end at infinity. Similarly, if there is a single negative charge then electric field lines start from infinity and end at a negative charge.
  • When two equal and opposite charges are placed at a very small distance to each other then this arrangement is called an electric dipole.
  • The electric field lines due to the electric dipole are given as,

  • The neutron has no charge so there will be no electric field lines due to neutron. Hence, option 1 is correct.
