Answer:B
Which among the following is false about electric field lines?
A. They are continuous B. They attract each other C. They remain parallel in a uniform electric field D. They diverge from positive charge
Explanation: Electric lines of force are always diverging from positive charge and they converge at a negative charge. Besides, they repel each other because of repulsion between two similar charges. They remain parallel to each other in the uniform field but may divert in case of a non-uniform field. These lines are continuously stretched between two opposite charges and always try to maintain minimum length.
