Is the mechanical work done by the external agent positive, negative, or zero and is the work done by the electric field on the charge positive, negative, or zero? A positive charge is originally moving downward in a region of uniform electric field pointingdownward. It is caught and pushed upwards some distance, and its final speed is half of its originalspeed.StartDescriptionEndThe +Q charge iscaught and pushedback to the center,going at the halfspeed it was at thestart.
