A positive charge is placed at rest at the center of a region of space in which there is a uniform, three-dimensional electric field. (A uniform field is one whose strength and direction are the same at all points within the region.) When the positive charge is released from rest in the uniform electric field, what will its subsequent motion be?

Answer:

Ans- It will decrease as the charge travels towards the electrical field.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ans- It will decrease as the charge travels towards the electrical field.

As we have learn, F= qE i.e. the electrical field will exert a force on the positively charged in the direction of the electrical field, this will accelerate the positive charge resulting in the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy.
