i had a question in my paper
why electrostatic field lines cannot be discontinuous in charge free region
i guessed a weird (but an innovative proof)
Tell me is it correct
So here it goes
"Let's assume that ELOF can be discontinuous
Then i draw a diagram of broken electric field
Now at one of the two free ends i assumed a small Gaussian volume(Only the free end)
Now using gauss law
ø:FLUX
ø = ∑Qenclosed/ε
ELOF ARE ENTERING BUT NOT ESCAPING SO ø≠0
BUT ∑qENCLOSED=0
SO OUR ASSUMPTION IS FALSE
H.P."
