ITS EASY YAAR.... IF THERE CAN'T BREAK IN BETWEEN.... AS YOU KNOW TANGENT DRAWN AT ANY POINT ON AN ELECTRIC FIELD LINE GIVES THE DIRECTION OF ELECTRIC FIELD AT THAT POINT... SO IF A BREAK OCCURS ANY POINT THAT PLACE OF DISCONTINUITY CAN GIVE RISE TO INFINITE NUMBER OF TANGENTS....AS ONE CAN DRAW INFINITE LINES PASSING THROUGH A GIVEN POINT... THIS HERE IMPLIES ELECTRIC FIELD VECTOR HAS MANY DIRECTIONS AT A TIME WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE.....RATE IF USEFULL

SUDDEN BREAK MEAN ELECTRIC FIELD LINES R ORIGINATING ND TERMINATING AT SAME PNT i.e SAME PNT IS ACTING AS PSTV AS WELL AS NGTV CHRGE THTS NT PSBL
