Question

A positively charged particle is released from rest in a uniform electric field. The electric potential energy of the charge.

Answer 1

Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

Initially, the charge was at rest. So, it's potential energy will be highest. Now, charge is released from rest in uniform electric field, therefore, it will move along electric field and gain kinetic energy. Hence, it's potential energy will decrease because it is converted in kinetic energy.
