A proton is released from rest in a unifrom electric field. Does the proton's electric potential energy increase or decrease? Does the proton move towards a location with a higher or a lower electric potential.

Two point charges having charge +Q, –q and mass M, m respectively are separated by a distance L. They are released from rest in a uniform electric field E. The electric field is parallel to line joining both the charges and is directed from negative to positive charge. For the separation between particles to remain constant, the value of L is (K=(1)/(4piin_(0)))

Assertion(A): Total work done by non-unifrom electric field on a charged particle starting from rest to any time is non-negative (Assume no other forces act on the charged particle) Reason(R ):the angle between electrostatic force and velocity of the charged particle released from rest in non-uniform electric field is always acute. (Assume no other forces act on the charged particle)
