Which statement out of these four is true.

Problem 1
A positive point charge is placed in a region of space where there is an electric field. If the charge is released from rest it will accelerate in a direction where the electric potential is

lower because that will decrease the charge's electric potential energy.lower because that will increase the charge's electric potential energy. higher because that will increase the charge's electric potential energy. higher because that will decrease the charge's electric potential energy.

Problem 2
A negative point charge is placed in a region of space where there is an electric field. If the charge is released from rest it will accelerate in a direction where the electric potential is

higher because that will increase the charge's electric potential energy. lower because that will increase the charge's electric potentialenergy. higher because thatwill decrease the charge's electric potential energy.lower because that will decrease the charge's electric potential energy.
