Q28

Point A is at a lower electrical potential than point B. An electron between them on the line joining them will

A.
Move towards A
B.
Move towards B
Answer
C.
Move at right angles to the line joining A and B
D.
Remain at rest

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Since we know that electric currents move from a higher potential or a lower potential. Also, electrons move in the direction opposite to electric current. So the electron on the line joining two points A and B will move from lower to higher potential i.e, it will move towards B.
