Subtopic: Electric Field Lines

Which of the following configurations of electric lines of force is not possible ?
both (2) and (3)

Solution:

Option 2 is wrong because electric field lines emerge out of +ve charge and submerge into -ve charge.

In option 3 number of electric field lines is proportional to amount of charge. From +5C charge 6 field lines are emerging out where as from 1C charge only one electric field line is present.
