A positively charged particle is release...

A positively charged particle is released from rest in an unform 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

decreasases because the charge moves along the electric field

D

decreases because the charge moves opposite to the electric field.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
When positive charge move in the direction of electric field then the intensity of electric field decreases and force according to F = Eq decreases and so velocity decreases and hence potential energy of charge decreases.
