As an electron moves from a high potential to a low potential, its electrical potential energy does it decrease or increase?
Alot of people tell me that it DECREASES in energy, just like gravitational potential acting on an object.
But I thought it INCREASES in energy, because electrons usually move from low potential to high potential. Is there any one here who knows the CORRECT answer to this question? THANKS
