Problem

A positively charged particle moves from a location where the electric potential is 200 V to a location where the potential is 50 V. Assuming no non-conservative forces act, which statement best describes the changes in the particle’s electric potential energy (ΔU) and kinetic energy (ΔK) during the motion? a) ΔU\Delta U increases and ΔK\Delta K decreases by the same amount. b) ΔU\Delta U decreases and ΔK\Delta K increases by the same amount. c) Both ΔU\Delta U and ΔK\Delta K increase by the same amount. d) ΔU\Delta U increases while ΔK\Delta K remains the same.
