$\huge\underline{{Answer:}}$

a) Moves towards the regions of lower potential.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option (a).

6. A positive charge released from rest

a) moves towards the regions of lower potential

Explanation:

• Charge flow depends on its nature. 
• Positive charges, starting from rest, will accelerate from regions of high potential and move toward regions of low potential.
• Positive charges always move from high potentials to lower potentials.
• Negative charges move in the opposite direction.
• The positive terminal of a battery is higher in electric potential than the negative terminal by an amount which is equal to the battery voltage.
• The dominant charge carrier that moves depends on the situation at hand.
• In many situations, the ion cannot move freely.For example, bonds with other ions.
• The negative charges move from the region of low potential to the region of high potential.
• Electrons are the majority charge carriers.
• Electrons are having negative charge.
• The protons are carrying positive charge.
• Neutrons are neutral.
• The number of electrons, protons and neutrons determines the charge of a particle.
