A proton is held at rest in a uniform electric field. When it is released, the proton will lose its kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy
The energy an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy in physics. It is described as the effort required to move a mass-determined body from rest to the indicated velocity. The body holds onto the kinetic energy it acquired during its acceleration until its speed changes. The body exerts the same amount of effort when slowing down from its current pace to a condition of rest. Formally, kinetic energy is any term that includes a derivative with respect to time in the Lagrangian of a system.
