प्रश्न
If a positive charge is shifted from a low-potential region to a high-potential region, the electric potential energy
विकल्प
increases
decreases
remains the same
may increase of decrease
उत्तर
increases
The electric potential energy, E, of a positive charge, q, in a potential, V, is given by E = qV. As the charge is moved from a low-potential region to a high-potential region, i.e. asV is increased, E will increase.
