    Why Does Moving a Negative Charge to a Higher Potential Increase Its Energy?

    Homework Statement When a -2C is moved from point A to B, the potential energy of the system increases by 10J. What is the voltage V(ab)? Homework Equations U=qV The Attempt at a Solution 10=(-2)V, I thought the voltage was -5V but the correct answer is +5V. Could someone explain why this is?
