Which diagram shows the pattern of the electric field between a positively charged metal sphere and a negatively charged metal plate?
Adiagram showing electric field lines originating from the positive sphere and terminating on the negative plate, with lines curving, and some lines from the sphere also going outwards into space without terminating on the plate.
Bdiagram showing electric field lines originating perpendicular to the positive sphere and terminating perpendicular to the negative plate, with all lines from the sphere terminating on the plate.
Cdiagram showing electric field lines originating from the positive sphere and terminating on the negative plate, but with lines not perpendicular to the sphere surface.
Ddiagram showing electric field lines originating from the positive sphere and terminating on the negative plate, but with lines not perpendicular to the plate surface.
