Options: a) It will move away from its original location because the potential there is positive. b) Its motition can not be predicted from the given information. c) It will remain at its orginal location because the potential there is positive.    The answer is the second one: Its motition can not be predicted from the given information. I am just trying to figure out WHY! I thought that the electron would remain at its original location because I thought the negative electron would be “happy” or attracted to the positive potential. I can also see that there could be a scenario where there is another area with a MORE positive potential and then the electron might favor the more positive potential, so maybe that is why more information is needed?  But, I am a little unclear and feel like I am maybe missing a key something!

Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.
