A proton in an electric field is initially located at Point

P_(1)

on the

x

-axis. The proton is given an initial velocity in the positive

x

-direction, moves in a straight line along the axis, and continually slows down and comes instantaneously to rest at Point

P_(2)

. What can be concluded about the electric potential at points

P_(1)

and

P_(2)

, and what evidence or reasoning supports the claim? 5PCEMA19 The electric potential is greater at Point

P_(1)

. The proton's kinetic energy is greatest at Point

P_(1)

. The electric potential is greater at Point

P_(1)

. The electric field does positive work on the proton as it moves from Point

P_(1)

point to Point

P_(2)

. The electric potential is greater at Point

P_(2)

. The proton experiences a force directed toward Point

P_(2)

while it is in motion. The electric potential is greater at Point

P_(2)

. The proton's kinetic energy decreases as it moves toward Point

P_(2)

.
