Question
**Question:** An electron moving downward slows down. What is the direction of the electric field causing this acceleration? **Options:** - ⭘ up - ⭘ into screen - ⭘ right - ⭘ down - ⭘ left This question asks students to apply their understanding of electric fields and forces to determine the correct direction of the electric field that would cause an electron moving downward to slow down. Electrons have a negative charge, and the electric field direction is defined as the direction a positive charge would move. Hence, an electron would move in the opposite direction of the electric field.
