Answer:

The electron tends to go to the region of 4. higher electric potential.

Explanation:

When a charged particle is immersed in an electric field, it experiences a force given by

F=qE

where

q is the charge of the particle

E is the electric field

The direction of the force depends on the sign of the charge. In particular:

- The force and the electric field have the same direction if the charge is positive

- The force and the electric field have opposite directions if the charge is negative

Therefore, an electron (negative charge) moves in the direction opposite to the electric field lines.

However, electric field lines go from points at higher potential to points at lower potential: so, electrons move from regions at lower potential to regions of higher potential.

Therefore, the correct answer is

The electron tends to go to the region of 4. higher electric potential.

Hi, can anyone write 5 or 4 paragraph about virus pls I rly need it DO NOT PLAGIARIZE!

Viruses are microscopic organisms that exist almost everywhere on earth. They can infect animals, plants, fungi, and even bacteria.

Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so deadly that it is fatal. Other viral infections trigger no noticeable reaction.

A virus may also have one effect on one type of organism, but a different effect on another. This explains how a virus that affects a cat may not affect a dog.

Viruses vary in complexity. They consist of genetic material, RNA or DNA, surrounded by a coat of protein, lipid (fat), or glycoprotein. Viruses cannot replicate without a host, so they are classified as parasitic.

They are considered the most abundant biological entity on the planet.
