Question

Define an electric field line. draw the pattern of the field lines around a system of two equal positive charges separated by a small distance.

Answer 1

Electric field lines provide a means to visualize the electric field. Since the electric field is a vector, electric field lines have arrows showing the direction of the electric field. As two examples, we show the electric field lines of a single point charge, and of a positive and negative charge.

Answer 2

Answer:

In a system of two equal positive charges, the electric field lines diverge.
