Question

A test charge is moved from lower potential point to a higher potential point. The potential energy of test charge will:

• A. Remains the same
• B. Increase
• C. Decrease
• D. Becomes zero

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Increase

A test charge is moved from a lower potential point to a higher potential point. The potential energy of the test charge will increase.
Because

$U=QV$

$\because Q=+1,U=V$

At high potential will high energy and at low potential will have low energy.
