Question

As a proton moves in a direction perpendicular to the electric field lines
A) it is moving from high potential to low potential and gaining electric potential energy B)it is moving from high potential to low potential and losing electric potential energy C)it is moving from low potential to high potential and gaining electric potential energy D it is moving from low potential to high potential and losing electric potential energy E) both its electric potential and electric potential energy remain constant As a proton moves in a direction perpendicular to the electric field lines

Explanation / Answer

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

if a proton were placed in electric field, the proton moves along the electric field ... because electric lines of force are just the path of a force traced by unit +ve charge but if it is placed perpendicular to afeild there will be no change in electric potential as lines parallel to electric field lines are equipotential
