Practice Questions

Question 1

What does electric potential energy describe for a charge in an electric field?

Question 2

If a positive charge moves in the same direction as the electric field, what usually happens to its electric potential energy?

Question 3

Which equation correctly relates electric potential energy $U$, charge $q$, and electric potential $V$?

Question 4

A charge $q$ is moved between two points where the electric potential changes from $V_i$ to $V_f$. What is the change in electric potential energy $\Delta U$?

Question 5

A negative charge moves to a region of higher electric potential. What happens to its electric potential energy?
