MCQ
Point A is at a lower electrical potential than point B. An electron between them on the line joining them will:
- AMove towards A
- BMove towards B
- CMove at right angles to the line joining A and B
- DRemain at rest
✓
Answer
- Move towards B
Explanation:
Given that point A is at lower electric potential than point B. The electron between them on line joining will move.
We have to find where this electron moves.
Since we know that electric currents move from a higher potential or a lower potential. Also, electrons move in the direction opposite to electric current. So the electron on the line joining two points A and B will move from lower to higher potential i.e, it will move towards B.
