Define electric field line ?

Electric field lines are an excellent way of visualizing electric fields. They were
first introduced by Michael Faraday himself.

A field line is drawn tangential to the net at a point. Thus at any point, the
tangent to the electric field line matches the direction of the electric field at
that point. Secondly, the relative density of field lines around a point
corresponds to the relative strength (magnitude) of the electric field at that
point. In other words, if you see more electric field lines in the vicinity of point
A as compared to point B, then the electric field is stronger at point A.
Define properties of electric field line ?
  The field lines never intersect each other.
 The field lines are perpendicular to the surface of the charge.
 The magnitude of charge and the number of field lines, both are
proportional to each other.
 The start point of the field lines is at the positive charge and end at the
negative charge.
Explain rules of electric field line?

1. The field line begins at the charge and ends either at the charge or at
infinity.
2. When the field is stronger, the field lines are closer to each other.
3. The number of field lines depends on the charge.
4. The field lines should never crossover.
Can electric field line across?
Electric field lines cannot cross.This is because they are, by definition, a line of constant potential.
The equipotential at a given point in space can only have a single value. If lines for two different
values of the potential were to cross, then they would no longer represent equipotential lines

Can electric lines appear as close loop?

No, The direction of electric field is from positive to negative charge. So line of force can be ne
regarded starting from positive charge and ending on a negative charge and ending on a negative
charge. That is why, electric lines of force can not from closed loops.
