may be .see the figure if u go right from the positive charge u can conclude that field lines goes closer and closer.

they go closer, but dont touch........

had they been touching, there wud be 2 direction(u wud have read)
but, the resultant direction wud be even diff, that means a third direction, which is damn impossible, how can it get created itself???(this is my explanation thought by me)..i wud b pleased to hear that the production of my mind is gud...but in case some error, even a small 1, plz clear it, so that i m not in ny misconception(p.n. i have not consulted this answer to ny1, so plz correct in case i m wrong...:))

i dont know if this is authentic

my personal opinion

electric lines are fictious
the greater the no.density greater the field

now consider some field existing in a region
it implys whole region is occupied by field lines

these obviously need to touch but are non intersecting

WE KNOW DAT TWO CURVES MAY HAVE COMMON TANGENTS.

yes, they can have many tangents, but the condition is also there that curve shall change its nature,

yes, we can draw many tangents at the same field line, but not at same point...isnt it?????

so, only 1 direction
