What would be the pattern of electric field lines 'inside' a solid charged sphere..?
An electric field line is a visual representation of the direction and strength of an electric field. It shows the path a small positive test charge would follow if placed in the electric field.
Electric field lines are created by a charged sphere due to the presence of electric charge. Positive charges will create electric field lines that point away from the sphere, while negative charges will create electric field lines that point towards the sphere.
Yes, all electric field lines from a charged sphere start and end on the surface of the sphere. This is because the electric field created by a charged sphere is strongest at the surface and decreases as you move further away from the sphere.
The closer together the electric field lines are, the stronger the electric field is at that point. This is because the density of the electric field lines represents the strength of the electric field. The closer lines are to each other, the stronger the electric field is in that region.
Yes, the direction of electric field lines can change. Electric field lines will always point in the direction of the electric field, and the direction of the electric field can change depending on the distribution of electric charges. For a solid charged sphere, the direction of the electric field will always point away from the sphere.
