I've seen neater, but you seem to grasp the issues.

And then for the T one they all just curve towards the negative node on the right?
The purpose of drawing electric field lines is to visually represent the direction and strength of an electric field at various points in space.
To draw electric field lines, you first need to determine the direction and strength of the electric field at different points using mathematical equations or diagrams. Then, starting from a positive charge, draw lines in the direction of the electric field, with the density of lines representing the strength of the field.
Curved electric field lines indicate the presence of a non-uniform electric field, where the strength and/or direction of the field changes at different points. The curvature of the lines represents the direction of the electric field at that point.
No, electric field lines cannot cross each other. This is because the electric field has a unique direction at each point, and if two lines were to cross, it would mean that the electric field has two different directions at that point, which is not possible.
The distance between electric field lines represents the strength of the electric field. The closer the lines are to each other, the stronger the electric field is at that point. Similarly, the further apart the lines are, the weaker the electric field is at that point.
