Question

In each of the drawings below a small electric charge is being moved within an electric field. In each drawing E (the electric field) is the same, the charge that is being moved is the same, and the distance d that the charge is being moved is the same. Rank the three drawings in order from the one with the largest difference in the charge's potential energy between points B and A.

Largest difference in charge's potential energy between points B and A:

Intermediate difference in charge's potential energy between points B and A:

Least difference in charge's potential energy between points B and A:
