When a negative charge is placed in opposite direction of field why does potential decrease |
|
Answer» If a charge is moving in the DIRECTION that it WOULD normally move, its electric potential ENERGY is DECREASING. If a charge is moved in a direction opposite to that of it would normally move, its electric potential energy is increasing. This situation is similar to that of constant gravitational field (g = 9,8 m/s2). |
