Question

Which of the following statements is true?

I the potential energy increases if the test charge moves in a direction opposite to the electric force.
II the potential energy decreases if the test charge moves in the direction of the electric force.
III the potential energy remains the same if the test charge moves in the direction of the electric force or opposite

Answer 1

Answer:

yes of course

Explanation:

the above statement is II is the correct one

Answer 2

Option a) the potential energy increases if the test charge moves in a direction opposite to the electric force.

• The field performs positive work on the charge if the negative charge moves in the opposite direction of the field. The field exerts negative effort on the negative charge if it moves in the field's direction. The amount of potential energy rises.
• It is generally accepted that a charge's electric potential energy is decreasing if it is travelling in the direction that it would ordinarily flow. A charge's electric potential energy increases if it is pushed in the opposite direction from how it would ordinarily move.
• Electric potential decreases in the direction of the electric field. This is thus because the work against the direction of the electric field is called electric potential.
• The potential of a positive test charge is referred to as the electric potential. A positive test charge's potential energy reduces as it approaches a negative test charge because the two charges are attracted to one another, which lowers the electric potential.
