The number of electric lines that emerge from a finite charge + q is _____

The number of electric lines that emerge from a finite charge +q is _____
  1. infinite
  2. any finite number but not equal to zero
  3. proportional to the charge
  4. zero

Solution

From the gauss theorem, the relation between electric field lines and charge can be established, E·s=+qε0

Therefore, the number of electric field lines or electric field intensity is directly proportional to charge.
