A positive charge is released from rest at pt A as shown in the figure. As it accelerates towards pt B, is the charge’s electric potential energy increasing or decreasing? What about its kinetic energy? Is the work done positive or negative? Repeat part a through c if the positive charge was initially moving to the left at pt B.
