A charged particle accelerates as it moves from location A to location B. If VA = 260 V and VB = 210 V, what is the sign of the charged particle? positive negative (b) A electron loses electric potential energy as it moves from point 1 to point 2. Which of the following is true regarding the electric potential at points 1 and 2?

(a) Positive

(b) Electron gains energy as it moves from A to B.

Explanation:

VA = 260 V

VB = 210 V

An electron moves from lower to higher potential which is negatively charged and a positively charged particle moves  from higher to lower potential, so the charge particle is positive in nature.

(a) Positive

(b) No, electron gains energy as it moves from A to B.

0.19 m/s and 0.45 m/s
