Let us find Potential difference between any two points: 

Question Image

         V2V1=x1x2Exdxy1y2Eydy V2V1=+x1x2Kydxy1y2Kxdy

This can further be evaluated only if we know the dependance of x and y on each other or the path of integration. Hence field is nonconservative. To find the shape of lines of force:

tanθ=EyEx  or  dydx=EyExdydx=KxKy  or  xdx+ydy=0x22+y22=C  or  x2+y2=2C

This is the equation of circle.
