Question
If a charge is shifted from a high potential region to low potential region, the electrical potential energy:
Options
A.Increases
B.Decreases
C.May increase or decrease.
D.Remains constant
Solution
PE = q (Vfinal – Vinitial)
PE = qᐃV PE decreases if q is +ve increases if q is -ve.
PE = qᐃV PE decreases if q is +ve increases if q is -ve.
