MCQ
When a positive $q$ charge is taken from lower potential to a higher potential point, then its potential energy will
- ADecrease
- ✓Increases
- CRemain unchanged
- DBecome zero
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Increases
b
(b) $\Delta \,P.E. = $ Work done by external agent
$ = ({V_f}q - {V_i}q)$${V_f} > {V_i} \Rightarrow \,\Delta P.E. > 0\,i.e.P.E.$ will increase
(b) $\Delta \,P.E. = $ Work done by external agent
$ = ({V_f}q - {V_i}q)$${V_f} > {V_i} \Rightarrow \,\Delta P.E. > 0\,i.e.P.E.$ will increase
