Euipotential surfaces in a region of electric field are shaped as shown in the figure. The potential of field lines is increasing as one moves to right. A thin beam of electrons enters the region from left along the axis. Give qualitative arguments to show that the region will act as an electrostatic lens trying to focus the beam of electrons.
