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.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. Northern Canada

Explanation:

A continental polar air mass can form over the land during the winter months. In the Northern Hemisphere, it originates in northern Canada or Alaska. As it moves southward, it brings dry weather conditions to the United States. Temperature and humidity levels are both low. Hope this helps :)

victus00 [196]

Electric field lines always begin at positive charges (or at infinity) and end at negative charges (or at infinity).

One could also say that the lines we use to represent an electric field indicate the direction in which a positive test charge would initially move when released from rest.
