Question

A positive charge released from rest​

Answer 1

Answer:

When a positively charged particle is released from rest in a uniform field, it moves along the electric field, i.e., from higher potential to lower potential. That is electric potential energy of the charge decreases.

Answer 2

a) Moves towards the regions of lower potential.

b) Moves towards the regions of higher potential.

c) Moves towards the regions of equal potential.

d) does not move.

Option (a) Moves towards the regions of lower potential is the correct answer.

• When an object loses some of its electrons and also gains some protons more, that object is said to be positively charged.
• When the positive charge is released from its rest state, it makes an increment in the velocity of the positive charge object.
• So, after the release from the rest the positive charge moves in the same direction as the electric field, so there will be no increase in the electric potential energy of that particular particle.
• So, the positive charge transmits from the higher region to the lower region.
