Q21. In one millisecond, a point charge moves from position A to position B as shown in the diagram below. Find the path that requires the most energy. * A E field 2 | direction B Path #2 requires more energy because it moves through a longer distance. Path #1 requires more energy because it is moving opposite to the electric field. Not sure because the point charges' polarities are not clear. Both paths require an equal amount of energy because they both complete the sam displacement in position in the same amount of time.

Path #2 requires more energy because it moves through a longer distance.
Path #1 requires more energy because it is moving opposite to the electric field.
Not sure because the point charges' polarities are not clear.
Both paths require an equal amount of energy because they both complete the same

А E field 2 | :1 direction В Path #2 requires more energy because it moves through a longer distance. Path #1 requires more energy because it is moving opposite to the electric field. Not sure because the point charges' polarities are not clear. Both paths require an equal amount of energy because they both complete the same displacement in position in the same amount of time.
