An electron is in the presence of a uniform electric field and its initial position is at point A. The electron is then moved to its final position at point B. The image below shows the initial and final positions of the electron and the direction of the electric field. Uniform E – Field A Which statement is TRUE? The electron moved to a lower electric potential and as a result its electric potential energy increased. The electron moved to a lower electric potential and as a result its electric potential energy decreased. The electron moved to a higher electric potential and as a result its electric potential energy decreased. The electron moved to a higher electric potential and as a result its electric potential energy increased.
