1. Homework Statement
Hi everyone, I am having trouble solving this question. I know that the right answer is d.
No equations here, only conceptual stuff.
Say I have the following points: A and B
A. B.
The negative charge is moving to the right, and if the electric field does positive work on it, then the electric force is going to the right, which means that the electric field is pointed leftwards from point B to point A.
This means the negative charge is moving from low to high potentials.
I thus would think that the answer is (C), increases, but the right answer apparently is (D) increases.
Could anyone please help me figure out why this is the case?
Thanks in advance for the help, and make it a great day!
