Practice Questions

Question 1

What does conservation of electric energy state for a charge moving in an electrostatic field?

Question 2

If a positive charge moves spontaneously from a point of higher electric potential to a point of lower electric potential, what happens to its electric potential energy?

Question 3

Which statement best describes the relationship between electric force and electric potential energy?

Question 4

A $+2q$ charge is released from rest in a region where the electric potential is constant. What is the net change in its electric potential energy as it moves within that region?

Question 5

A charge is moved slowly between two points by an external agent. Which situation means the electric field does negative work on the charge?
