Which among the curves shown in Figure cannot possibly represent electrostatic field lines?
Solution:
(a) It is wrong, because electric field lines must be normal to the surface of conductor outside it.
(b) It is wrong because field lines cannot start or originate from negative charge, and also cannot end or submerge into positive charge.
(c) It is correct
(d) It is wrong because electric field lines never intersect each other.
(e) It is wrong because electric field lines cannot form closed loops.
