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 electric field

D

decreases because the charge moves opposite to the electric field.
