In a certain region of space, a uniform electric field is in the x direction. A particle with negative charge is carried from x=20.0 cm to x=60.0cm.
The particle moved to a position where the electric potential is
(a) higher than before
(b) unchanged
(c) lower than before
(d) unpredictable
The correct option is Option c)
Where is the electric potential, when the particle moved?
The particle moved to a position where the electric potential is lower than before because the potential decreases in the direction of the electric field.
Electric potential energy is the energy that is required when we have to move a charge against the applied electric field. We need more energy to move a charge further in the electric field, but also more energy to move it through a stronger electric field.

Answer:
I am kind of confused-
Explanation:
Do you mind re-writing and explaining the question more?
Ok here's a rough image of how a typical energy diagram works. You give a little energy (A) and you get the potential that was in there all along. Kinda like pushing a big rock off a cliff. You do a little work then get a lot of energy out as the PE turns into other forms. In a match it's heat and light
Water breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen: It is a decomposition reaction as a single substance decomposes to give two products.
Leaves make starch using chlorophyll and carbon dioxide: Synthesis reaction: as the synthesis reaction involves two or more than two reactants which join together to result into a single main product along with the formation of simple by products.
Food burns in oxygen gas and releases a lot of energy: Combustion: Combustion process involves the use of oxygen to give products along with release of energy.
Adding vinegar (acid) to baking soda (alkali) gives a product that is neither acidic nor alkaline: Neutralization: acetic acid in vinegar reacts with soda (base) to give salt (neutral) and .
