Would a positive test charge released fromrest move toward a region of higher or lower electric potential(compared to the electric potential at the point where it isreleased)?The answer is lower electric potentialNow imagine that the sign of our testparticle is changed from positive to negative, but the electricpotential remains the same. Which of the following statements iscorrect?a. Thedirection of the force will change and it will point to regions ofhigher potential energy.b. Thedirection of the force will not change and it will point to regionsof higher potential energy.c. Thedirection of the force will not change and it will point to regionsof lower potential energy.d. Thedirection of the force will change and it will point to regions oflower potential energy.
