Figure shows the field lines of a point negative charge. In going from B to A, the kinetic energy of a small negative charge will

A

increase

B

decrease

C

remain constant

D

data insufficient

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Due to force of repulsion on the negative charge, velocity decreases and hence the kinetic energy decreases going from B to A .
