2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy

In a region of space, suppose there exists a uniform electric field $\vec{E}=10 i\left(\frac{ v }{ m }\right)$. If a positive charge moves with a velocity $\vec{v}=-2 \hat{j}$, its potential energy

A

Increases

B

Decreases

C

Does not change

D

Initially increases then decreases

Solution

(c)

As charge moves perpendicular to $\vec{E}$, no change in energy occurs.
