Question

A proton released from rest in an electric field, will start moving towards
a region of____ potential in the field.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that a proton is released from rest in a uniform electric field. ... The positive charge moves along the direction of the electric field so in this case, proton will move along the direction of the electric field after it is released from rest in a uniform electric field.

Answer 2

Answer: Lower potential

Explanation:A positive charge moves from the higher potential (cathode) to lower potential (anode) while a negative charge moves from a lower potential to a higher potential in the presence of an electric field.
