Hard

An isolated system consists of two point charges of equal magnitude and opposite sign, +Q+Q+Q and −Q-Q−Q, separated by a distance rrr. A physics student is asked to draw the electric field lines (represented by solid lines with arrows) and the equipotential surfaces (represented by dashed lines) for this system.

Which of the diagrams correctly represents this electric field pattern and its associated equipotentials?
