Ans.1.26
(a) The field lines showed in (a) do not represent electrostatic field lines because field lines must be normal to the surface of the conductor.
(b) The field lines shown in (b) do not represent electrostatic field lines because field lines can not emerge from a negative charge and cannot terminate at a positive charge.
(c) The field lines shown in (c) represent electrostatic field line. This is because the field lines emerge from the positive charge and repel each other.
(d) The field lines shown in (d) do not represent electrostatic field lines because the field lines should not intersect each other.
