Do free electrons travel to region of higher potential or lower potential?

Free electrons travel to region of higher potential or lower potential.

Do electrons tend to go to regions of high potential ?

Given below are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R) Assertion (A): An electron has a high potential energy when it is at a location associated with a more negative value of potential, and a low potential energy when at a location associated with a more positive potential. Reason (R):Electrons move from a region of higher potential to region of lower potential. Select the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Assertion: In the electric field E=(4eci+4hatj)N//C electric potential at A (4m, 0) is more than the electric portential at B(0,4m) Reason: Electric lines of forces always travel from higher potential to lower potential.

Statement (A): Negative charges always move from a higher potential to lower potential point statement (B): Electric potentail is vector.
