Since the electric field decreases as the square of
the distance from a point charge and the area enclosing the
charge increases as the square of the distance, the number
of field lines crossing the enclosing area remains constant,
whatever may be the distance of the area from the charge We started by saying that the field lines carry information
about the direction of electric field at different points in space Having drawn a certain set of field lines, the relative density
