Answer:

Yes, it is true

Step-by-step explanation:

The protons are positively charged in nature.

So, they always tends to move from positively charged plate ti negatively charged plate, as the positive charge is attracted by the negative charge.

A positive charged plate ha high potential and a negatively charged plate has low potential, so we can say the protons always move from high potential region to low potential region.

An electron is negatively charged particle.

So, they move from negative plate to the positive plate a they are attracted by the positively charged plate. So they move from low potential region to high potential region.

Answer:

Yes, proton tend to go from a region of higher potential to a lower potential.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that, the point where the number of positive charges are large then that point is called the positive potential whereas at the point where number of negative charges are large then that point is called lower potential.

Electrons have the negative charge,so they repel by the negatives charge at the negative potential and move towards the positive potential due to attraction of unlike pair of charge.

Unlike electron, protons posses the positive charge, so they tends to move from a region of higher potential to the lower potential.
