a. Refer to Figure 1:
i. State whether the source charge is positively or negatively charged.
ii. Figure 1 contains arrows that are outwardly pointing. By convention, state how
the directions of field lines are detected.
b. Comparing Figure 1 and Figure 2, you will notice Figure 2 does not have any
arrowheads. Observe the sign of charges for each source charge, (in Figure 2)
