Homework Statement
given a uniform electric field direct straight downward. If I have two particles, one is positive and the other is negative, both align horizontally (at the same height) inside the field. Which one has more electric potential?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The electric field will try to push the positive particle in the same direction naturally if no force is applied. The electric potential is defined as the -integral of (E . dt) from very far to a certain location. Based on this, I say both particles have the same potential.
