Question

The potential energy of a negative point charge _____ in going from B to A.

  1. Decreases
  2. Remains same
  3. Increases
  4. Cannot be determined

hintHint:

Increases

The correct answer is: Increases


    • Potential energy(U) is inversely proportional to the distance(R) between the charges.
    • Since, Ris greater than RA.
    • Therefore, UA is greater than UB 
    • Thus, potential energy increases.
    • So, the correct option is c.
