Answer:

A. The potential energy of the positively charge proton from 5v to 7.5v will increase because in an electric field work is done on the proton to move it to a point of higher potential

B. when an electron is moved from 7.5v to 5v it loses potential energy due to the charges lost so as to bring it to a point of lower potential
