The electric potential is (300 mathrm{~V}) at (x=0 mathrm{~cm}), is (-100 mathrm{~V}) at (x=5 mathrm{~cm}), and varies
Question:
The electric potential is \(300 \mathrm{~V}\) at \(x=0 \mathrm{~cm}\), is \(-100 \mathrm{~V}\) at \(x=5 \mathrm{~cm}\), and varies linearly with \(x\). If a positive charge is released from rest at \(x=2.5 \mathrm{~cm}\), and is subject only to electric forces, the charge will
A. Move to the right.
B. Move to the left.
C. Stay at \(x=2.5 \mathrm{~cm}\).
D. Not enough information to tell.
