Match the field lines given in Column I with the charge configuration due to which field lines exist in Column II.
Column I | Column II | ||
A. | I | A pair of equal and opposite charges | |
B. | II | A pair of positive charges | |
C. | III | A single positive charge | |
D. | IV | A single negative charge. |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Verified by ExpertsC
Figures show the field lines around some simple charge configurations. The field lines of a single positive charge are radially outward while those of a single negative charge are radially inward. The field lines around a system of two positive charges 
give a pictorial description of their mutual repulsion. While that of a pair of equal and opposite charges shows attraction.
Hence, A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
