Which among the curves shown in figure cannot possibly represent electrostatic field lines?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Only (c) is right, the rest cannot represent electrostatic field lines. (a) is wrong because field lines must be normal to a conductor. (b) is wrong because field lines cannot start from a negative charge. (d) is wrong because field lines cannot intersect each other. (e) is wrong because electrostatic field lines cannot form closed loops.
