(N/A) The electric field lines for a positive point charge originate from the charge and extend radially outwards to infinity.
Since the electric field $E$ is defined as the force per unit positive test charge,a positive test charge placed near a positive source charge will be repelled.
Therefore,the field lines point away from the positive charge in all directions.
These lines are symmetric about the charge and do not intersect each other.
