Question

Can there be a potential difference between two adjacent conductors carrying the same charge?

✓

Answer

In a uniform electric field, free electrons move opposite to the direction of electric field.
As the electric field is always direct from higher potential to lower travel so, electrons move from lower potential to higher potential.
