As we learnt in 

Direction of Electric field -

Due to Positive Charge electric field is always away from the charge.

-

 

 

Direction of Electric field -

 

Due to Negative charge electric field is always towards the charge.

-

 

 \frac{1}{C_{eq}}= \frac{1}{(1+2)} + \frac{1}{C}= \frac{1}{C}+\frac{1}{3}

C_{eq}= \frac{3C}{C+3}

Total charge in the circuit 

Q=C_{eq}E= \frac{3CE}{C+3}

Q_{2}= \frac{2}{3}Q= \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{3CE}{C+3}= \frac{2CE}{C+3}\ or\ Q_{2}= \frac{2E}{1+\frac{3}{C}}

and \frac{\partial Q_{2}}{\partial c}=\frac{6E}{(C+3)^{2}}

As C increases,  Q_{2} increases and slope of Q_{2}  -C curve decreases. Hence, Graph (d) represents the correct variation.
