Inside a uniform electirc field, a particle is released from rest. The particle moves from a potential of 6V to 12V purely off of the electrical force on it. This means the particle must have a ______ Postive charge Negative Charge Neutral
I need help with this problem! Thanks in Advance.
Inside a uniform electirc field, a particle is released from rest. The particle moves from a potential of 6V to 12V purely off of the electrical force on it.
This means the particle must have a ______
Postive charge
Negative Charge
Neutral
or can be negative or positive
We known that direction of electric field is in the direction of the decreasing potential (electric field is equal to negative of gradient of potential).
As here the particle is moving from 6 V to 12 V (increasing potential ) direction which is opposite to the direction of electric field.
We also know that in the present of electric field negative charge is moving opposite direction of electric field and positive charge is moving in the direction of electric field and neutral charge is not effected by the electric field.
