Electric potential increases along the x axis. A proton and an electron are placed at rest at the origin. |
In which direction do the charges move when released? |
the proton moves towards negative x-axis, while the electron moves towards positive x-axis. the proton moves towards positive x-axis, while the electron moves towards negative x-axis. the proton and electron move towards negative x-axis the proton and electron move towards positive x-axis |
the proton moves towards negative x-axis, while the electron moves towards positive x-axis. |
Positive charges experience a force driving them from regions of high electric potential to regions of low electric potential, whereas negative charges experience a force driving them from regions of low electric potential to regions of higher electric potential. |
