Electric field lines are:
Correct answer: B. Imaginary lines
- A. Actual lines
- B. Imaginary lines
- C. Solid lines
- D. Always curve lines
Explanation
Imaginary lines Explanation: Electric field lines are a conceptual tool used to visualize the electric field. They represent the direction and relative strength of the electric field. They are not physical lines that exist in reality.

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
