Question

when an electric charge moves through a circuit in the direction of an electric force, what happens?

Answer 1

the force is directed perpendicularly to both velocity and the mag. field

Electrical circuit

continuous path through which electrical charges can flow.

Charged

object that has an unbalance of positive and negative electrical charges.

Force

agent that results in accelerating or deforming an object.

Answer 2

Explanation:

If a charge is moving in the direction that it would normally move, its electric potential energy is decreasing. If a charge is moved in a direction opposite to that of it would normally move, its electric potential energy is increasing. This situation is similar to that of constant gravitational field (g = 9,8 m/s2).
