Can a particle move in a direction of increasing electric potential, yet have its electric potential energy decrease? Explain

Physics
1 answer:
yan [13]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , it is possible .

When a negative charge moves towards a positive charge , it is moving in the direction of increasing electrical potential . In the whole process , its electrical potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases .

Actually the potential energy of a negative charge near a positive charge is negative and it is inversely proportional to distance .

V = - Qq / R , When R decreases , the negative value of potential increases . That means potential energy decreases .

A proton and an electron are moving in the +x direction in a magnetic field in the +z
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

A proton and electron are moving in the positive x direction, this shows that their velocity will be in the positive x direction

V = v•i

Magnetic field Is the positive z direction

B = B•k

A. For proton.

Proton has a positive charge of q

Direction of force on proton

Force is given as

F = q(v×B)

F = q( v•i × B•k)

F = qvB (i×k)

From vectors i×k = -j

F = -qvB •j

Then, for the positive charge, the force will act in the negative direction of the y-axis

B. For electron

Electron has a negative of -q

Direction of force on proton

Force is given as

F = q(v×B)

F = -q( v•i × B•k)

F = -qvB (i×k)

From vectors i×k = -j

F = --qvB •j

F = qvB •j

Then, for the negative charge, the force will act in the positive direction of the y-axis
