How Do Field Lines Represent a Hydrogen Atom in a Simplified Model?

[physicsnewb7]

Homework Statement

draw the field lines of a simple hydrogen atom model. A case is given where a proton is surrounded by an electron cloud. Without getting into quantum mechanics how would represent the field lines of this mini sphere inside and out.

Homework Equations

gauss's law

The Attempt at a Solution

since the 2 charges are the same I think there would be no field lines going out and the field lines would just be going from the proton to the electron correct?

Yeah, that's correct. Remember that the electron cloud exerts no force on anything inside of it, so the electric field inside the cloud is the same as if the cloud didn't exist.
