If a unit positive charge is shifted from a region of low potential to a region of high potential, then the electric potential energy of the system
- A increases.
- B decreases.
- C does not change.
- D is zero.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) increases.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Because work is to be done by an external agent in moving a positive charge from low potential to high potential and this work gets stored in the form of potential energy of the system. Hence, it increases.
