Question

As a proton moves in the direction the electric field lines:

A. it is moving from low potential to high potential and gaining electric potential energy.

B. it is moving from low potential to high potential and losing electric potential energy.

C. it is moving from high potential to low potential and gaining electric potential energy.

D. it is moving from high potential to low potential and losing electric potential energy.

E. both its electric potential and electric potential energy remain constant.

Explanation / Answer

D. it is moving from high potential to low potential and losing electric potential energy.

Because, the electric field starts from a positive charge and end at negatice charge. So, we say electric field lines originate at high potential and end at low potential.
