Electrostatic lines of force possess the following properties:
(1) They originate from a positive charge and terminate on a negative charge.
(2) They are always normal to the surface of the body at the point from where they originate or terminate.
(3) A unit positive charge when placed in close neighbourhood of a positively charged body, will follow the path of a line of force and will move to the negatively charged body.
(4) A line of force is such that a tangent to it at any point indicates a direction of the electric intensity at that point.
