For a proton moving in the direction of the electric field
a. its potential energy increases and its electric potential decreases
b. its potential energy increases and its electric potential increases
c. its potential energy decreases and it electric potential increases
d. its potential energy dcreases and its electric potential decreases
Originally, I thought the answer was b, but this is wrong. Exactly why is b incorrect and what exactly is the correct choice?
Thanks.
