The figure shows two very large charged plates side-on, one with charge +Q the other with charge

The figure shows two very large charged plates side-on, one with charge +Q the other with charge -Q. (Note, the plates extend very far up, down, into the page, and out of the page, so the figure just shows a small cross-section of the entire plates. ) Between the plates are arrows showing 6 different paths through which an electron is moved. Each path is separate. For each path the electron starts at the base of the arrow and ends up at the tip (pointy part) of the arrow. For which path is the change in electrostatic potential energy (PEf - PEi) of the electron going to be the largest?

Explanation / Answer

it will be the largest for path B.

it will be the same in magnitude for A but negative
