If a positive charge moves in the direction of the electric field ______.

• Field does negative work on charge, potential energy decreases

• Field does positive work on charge, potential energy increases

• Field does positive work on charge, potential energy decreases

• Field does negative work on charge, potential energy increases

If a positive charge moves in the direction of the electric field does positive work on charge, potential energy decreases.

Explanation:

When a field does positive work on a charge,  the potential energy of the charge drops.
