Imagine two charges in space: 2Q (positive), and 4Q (negative), separated by a distance d. The arrangement of electric field lines around these charges demonstrates the distribution of electric fields in the space between and around the charges. Which illustration correctly demonstrates this?

• A. The lines originate from -4Q and terminate at +2Q
• B. The lines originate from +2Q and terminate at -4Q
• C. The lines start at both charges and meet in the middle
• D. There are no electric field lines between the charges

Answer: (B)
