(Again, keep in mind that the actual field is three-dimensional; there are also field lines pointing out of and into the page.)

The electric field only depends on the configuration and size of the source charges. Once the electric field is found, it allows us to calculate the force on any test charge. The electric force between two point charges is described by Coulomb's Law.
