The field lines bend toward the second positive charge.

|
The field lines bend away from the second positive charge.

Detailed explanation-1: -The field lines bend away from the second positive charge. Explanation: The electric field is the surrounding around the charge in which the electric force can be experienced. There is repulsive force between the same charges.
Detailed explanation-2: -How are the electric field lines around a positive charge affected when a second positive charge is near it? The field lines bend away from the second positive charge.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because an electric field has both magnitude and direction, the direction of the force on a positive charge is chosen arbitrarily as the direction of the electric field. Because positive charges repel each other, the electric field around an isolated positive charge is oriented radially outward.
Detailed explanation-4: -These pattern of lines, sometimes referred to as electric field lines, point in the direction that a positive test charge would accelerate if placed upon the line. As such, the lines are directed away from positively charged source charges and toward negatively charged source charges.
Detailed explanation-5: -When charged particles are close enough to exert force on each other, their electric fields interact. The lines of force bend together when particles with different charges attract each other. The lines bend apart when particles with like charges repel each other.
