Why field lines of electric field do not cross each othe

In summary, field lines of electric field do not cross each other because they represent the direction and strength of the electric field at different points in space. These lines always point towards the direction of the electric field and never intersect or cross, as this would imply a change in the direction of the field at that point. Additionally, electric field lines are continuous and do not break or diverge, further supporting the idea that they do not cross each other. This property of electric field lines allows for a clear visualization of the electric field and its behavior, making it a valuable tool in understanding and analyzing electric fields.
