Question

A proton is released from rest at point A in a constant electric field and accelerates to point B (see part a of the drawing). An electron is released from rest at point 8 and accelerates to point A (see part b of the drawing). How does the change in the proton's electric potential energy compare with the change in the electrons electric potential energy? O The proton experiences a greater change in electric potential energy, since it has a greater charge magnitude. O The proton experiences a smaller change in electric potential energy, since it has a smaller charge magnitude. O One cannot compare the change in potential energies because the proton and electron move in opposite directions. O The change in the proton's electric potential energy is the same as the change in the electron's electric potential energy O The proton experiences a smaller change in electric potential energy, since it has a smaller speed at 8 than the electron has at A. This is due to the larger mass of the proton. 0
