Which diagram best represents the field lines in the electric field produced by a combination of one point positive charge and one point negative charge?
This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.
AElectric field lines converging on a positive charge and diverging from a negative charge.
BElectric field lines diverging from a positive charge and converging on a negative charge.
CElectric field lines diverging from two positive charges.
DElectric field lines diverging from a positive charge and converging towards another positive charge.
✓ Correct answer
B: Electric field lines diverging from a positive charge and converging on a negative charge.
