MCQ
When a negative charge is taken at a height from earth's surface, then its potential energy
- ADecreases
- ✓Increases
- CRemains unchanged
- DWill become infinity
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Increases
b
(b) It is assumed that charge on earth is ${10^6}\,C$ hence by taking away a negative charge from the earth, potential energy will increase.
