A positively charged particle is released from rest in a uniform electric field. The electric potential energy of charge |
Remains constant Increases because charge moves along the electric field Decreases because charge moves along the electric field Decreases because charge moves opposite to electric field |
Decreases because charge moves along the electric field |
The correct answer is Option (3) → Decreases because charge moves along the electric field The electric potential energy of charge decreases as charge more along the electric field and the potential energy is converted into the particle's kinetic energy. |
