Reading Quiz #2

1.(2 points) Here is a picture familiar to you from your reading:
                           
I have drawn a number of equipotentials for this system of positive and negative charges.  Remembering that the ELECTRIC FIELD LINES diverge away from the positive charge, and converge toward the negative charge, and that the field lines are always perpendicular to the equipotentials, sketch 5 field lines.  Where do you think the field is strongest?  Why?
