A positively charged particle is released from rest in a uniform electric field. The electric potential energy of charge:
- A Remains constant
- B Increases because charge moves along the electric field
- C Decreases because charge moves along the electric field
- D Decreases because charge moves opposite to electric field
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Decreases because charge moves along the electric field
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The electric potential energy of a positive charge decreases when it moves in the direction of the electric field, from higher potential to lower potential. Decreases because charge moves along the electric field
