Question

I need part A, B and C. Part and B are referring to its potential energy and whether if it increases or decreases and if it begins traveling towards higher or lower electric potential.

4% Problem 13: A particle is released from rest in a uniform electrc field and then begins traveling under the influence of the electric field. 33% Part (a) The particle is a proton. Which is true? Choose the best answer. 33% Part (e) The particle is a proton. What is true about the proton's path? Choose the best answer. Grade Summary The path is perpendicular to the electric field lines and parallel to the equipotential lines Deductions C The path is parallel to the electric field lines and parallel to the equipotential lines.

Explanation / Answer

Electric field points in the direction of electric potential. A proton moves in the direction of the elctric field and an electron moves opposite to the direction of the electric field.

a)The potential energy of the proton decreases and it begins travelling towards lower electric potential.

b) The potential energy of the electron decreases and it begins travelling towards higher electric potential.

c) The path is parallel to the electic field line and perpendicular to the equipotential lines.
