Parts and what they mean

• Positive source charge +Q (धनात्मक स्रोत आवेश +Q) — Its field points radially outward (the way a + test charge would be pushed).
• Negative source charge −Q (ऋणात्मक स्रोत आवेश −Q) — Its field points radially inward (a + test charge would be pulled in).
• Field close to the charge (आवेश के पास क्षेत्र) — Long arrows: the field is strong where r is small.
• Field far from the charge (आवेश से दूर क्षेत्र) — Short arrows: E ∝ 1/r², so it weakens quickly with distance.
