If we release a charge +q from the positive
plate b the electric force would accelerate the
charge toward the negative plate.
Work
The electric field will do work to move the charge
across the electric field.
◦ W = ΔKE
The charge has high Electrical Potential
Energy near b
As the charge move closer to a, the Electrical
