A charged particle decelerates as it moves from location a to location b. if va = 210 v and vb = 120 v, what is the sign of the charged particle?

Sagot :

The particle is positively charged

What determines the movement of charged particles?

The potential difference between the 2 point through which the charged particle moves governs the movement of that particle. An electron moves from lower to higher potential which is negatively charged, and a positively charged particle moves  from higher to lower potential.

Now, since the particle is moving from a point A having 210 v potential to point B having 120 v potential that is it is moving from higher potential to a lower potential therefore the particle will be a positively charged one.

What is potential difference?

When a single charge is transported in an electric field, work is done by the potential difference (also known as electrical potential). There is potential energy stored in this charge that could flow when work is done on it. Voltage is the shortened form of potential difference and it is measured in volts (V). Voltage is the possibility of a single charge flowing. The need to flow increases with voltage.
