Question

An electron is being held stationary in an electric field. If the electron is Let go, which of the following statements is FALSE? The electron will move to a location of Lower electric potential energy. As the electron begins to move, mechanical energy is conserved. The electron will move to a location of higher electric potential energy. If the electron returns to the same position that it starts from, the change in electric potential energy is zero, regardless of the path the electron travelled.

Explanation / Answer

(c) 'The electron will move to location of heigher electric potential energy' is FALSE statement.

explanation:  Every system always tries to minimize its potential energy.
