Question

A proton is released from rest at the dot. Afterwards, the proton

  1. Moves up
  2. Moves down
  3. Remains at dot
  4. Cannot say

hintHint:

Moves down

The correct answer is: Moves down


    • A positive charge moves from higher potential to lower potential that means it moves in the direction of the electric field.
    • Therefore, when a proton is released it will move down towards the lower potential.
    • So, the correct option is b.
