Which of the following statements are correct?

(A) Electrostatic lines of force may be curved or straight in an electric field.
(B) Number of lines of force per unit perpendicular area represents the intensity of the electric field at the point
(C) Two electric field lines can not intersect each other.
(D) Electric field lines are directed from negative to positive charge for an electric dipole.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B) and (C) only

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (B) and (C) only

(A) Electrostatic lines of force may be curved or straight in an electric field — ✔ True (They are straight in uniform fields and curved in non-uniform fields.)

(B) Number of lines of force per unit perpendicular area represents the intensity of the electric field at that point — ✔ True

(C) Two electric field lines cannot intersect each other — ✔ True (If they did, electric field would have two directions at a point, which is impossible.)

(D) Electric field lines are directed from negative to positive charge for an electric dipole — ✖ False (They are directed from positive to negative charge.)

Final Answer:

(A), (B), and (C)
