Practicing Success
When a negative charge is released and moves in electric field, what position does it move towards ? |
higher electric potential and low potential energy lower electric potential and low potential energy higher electric potential and high potential energy lower electric potential and high potential energy |
higher electric potential and low potential energy |
Negative charge will tend to move towards higher electric potential because of the strong Coulomb attraction and potential energy of a system of fixed point charges is equal to the work that must be done by an external agent to bring each charge in from infinite distance. Hence the charge will try to tend to move towards low potential energy |
