  • A positively charged particle is released from rest in an uniform electric field. The electric potential energy of the charge

    A
    remains a constant because the electric field is uniform.
    B
    increases because the charge moves along the electric field.
    C
    decreases because the charge moves along the electric field.
    D
    decreases because the charge moves opposite to the electric field.
