In my book following points have been given
1-due to conservative nature of electric field ,the electrostatic field lines will not form any closed loop.I want to ask how forming a loop makes if non conservative?
2-Field lines have tendency to contract in length (longitudinal contraction )like a stretched elastic string.The lateral pressure between field lines explains the mutual repulsion between like charge.This kind of imply electric field line possesses physical existence which they don't,do they?If not why such physical properties like contraction,pressure have been given to them in their description.
3-For electric field lines to be thee,the space/place should have electrostatic field,right?
