Question

An electron moves from point A (which is at a potential of +50V) to point B (which is at a potential of -50 V) along the semicircular path shown in the figure? What is the change in the electric potential energy of the electron?

 

  A.

-50 eV

  B.

+50 eV

  C.

+100 eV

  D.

-100 eV

 

  E.

This cannot be determined because we do not know the total distance traveled.
