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?
