Electric Field Lines: Properties
Electric field lines start from a positive charge and end at a negative charge.
In case of a single charge, electric field lines end at infinity.
In a charge-free region, electric field lines are continuous and smooth.
Two electric field lines never intersect or cross each other.
Electric field lines never form a closed loop because electric field is conservative in nature.

Electrical Conductors Electrical Insulator
Conductors have free electrons on the surface which allows current to pass through. Insulators dont.
Electric charge is quantized.
Q=n e

( NC-1)
The electric field intensity between two points is the vector sum of all the electric fields acting at that point.
Charge is a conserved quantity.
