When observing electric field lines around a positively charged sphere, which of the following characteristics is true regarding their direction and density?

Electric field lines around a positively charged sphere all point straight outwards from the surface because the charge is positive. The lines start at the sphere’s surface and spread out as they move farther away. Where the lines are packed closely—right near the surface—the electric field is strongest, so the lines are denser. As you move away, the lines spread apart, showing a weaker field. For example, if you mark points just outside the sphere, the lines will be close together, but a meter away they will be far apart.
