Electrostatics
When comparing electric field lines originating from infinitely long straight wires with uniform linear charge densities of different magnitudes, what trend should we expect?
Field line density decreases with increased distance from the wire while maintaining direct proportionality to their respective densities.
Field line density increases with increased distance from the wire, reversing proportionality to their respective densities due to limited extent of lines spreading outwards to infinity.
Field line density remains constant independent of distance from the wire and their respective densities since wires are infinitely long.
All wires produce an equal number of field lines per unit length regardless of variations in charged densities owing to uniformity of infinite extension.

For two parallel non-conducting sheets each uniformly charged but with opposite sign charges (+σ and −σ respectively), what would be true about any external effects outside these sheets if they were brought infinitely close together without touching?
They would have no effect on each other due to opposite signs
They would cancel each other creating no external fields
