Problem
A negative point charge is released from rest at point A and allowed to move only under the influence of an electric field until it reaches point B, which is 50 V higher in electric potential than point A. In one or two sentences, explain whether the charge’s kinetic energy at point B is greater than, less than, or equal to its kinetic energy at point A.
