Answer: higher and lower
Explanation:
charge in an electric field will experience a force in the direction of decreasing potential energy. Since the electric potential energy of a negative charge is equal to the charge times the electric potential the direction of decreasing electric potential energy is the direction of increasing electric potential.
Change the 8 pounds to kilograms (divide it by 2.2). Then multiply the kg by the speed of light (300,000,000 m/sec) squared. You get a very big number. It's the number of joules of energy equivalent to 8 lbs of mass.
