Q. Which of the following figures cannot possibly represent electrostatic field lines?

Electric Charges and Fields

Solution:

Positive charge tends to move normally away from the conductor i.e starts or ends only at 90° to the surface of the conductor. Thus, the lines of force are parallel and normal to the surface of conductor. So curve (b) cannot represent electrostatic field lines.
