Electrostatic Potential Energy

If a unit positive charge is shifted from a region of low potential to a region of high potential, then the electric potential energy of the system

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

$U = qV$ ; for $q = +1$ , $U$ rises as $V$ rises.
Moving from low to high potential needs work against the field, which is stored as PE.
So the answer is (a) increases.
