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
increases.
decreases.
does not change.
is zero.
Solution
Because work is to be done by an external agent in moving a positive charge from low potential to high potential and this work gets stored in the form of potential energy of the system. Hence, it increases.
