How to draw (maybe curved) electrical field lines between two plates in TikZ
How to draw these figures in TikZ?
I have managed to draw the first two figures, but the way I drew the arrows is not really good:
documentclass[tikz,border=3mm]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
foreach i in {-3,...,3}
draw[->] (i,0)--(i,-1.1); % Figure A
%draw[-<] (i,0)--(i,-1.1); Figure B
draw (-3,-1)--(-3,-2.2);
draw (-2,-1)--(-2,-2.4);
draw (-1,-1)--(-1,-2.6);
draw (0,-1)--(0,-2.7);
draw (3,-1)--(3,-2.2);
draw (2,-1)--(2,-2.4);
draw (1,-1)--(1,-2.6);
% It is ugly and time-consuming, right? but I can't find a better one
draw[line width=3pt,red] (-3.5,0)--(3.5,0);
draw (0,0) node[above] {$+$};
draw[line width=3pt,blue] (-3.5,-2) to[out=-20,in=-160] (3.5,-2);
draw (0,-2.7) node[below] {$-$};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
As the way I drew the straight arrows is not optimal, I can't use it to draw the curved arrows in the last two figures.
Can you show me a better way? Thank you in advance.
