Question

Electric field lines are a graphical means of providing a "map" of the electric field. From the field lines can get a feeling for the relative strength of the field and its direction at different points in space. You can also infer the sign of the charge on objects and the relative magnitudes of the charge on the objects. Below are several figures. Which figures represent valid representations of the electric field lines?
