Question

As an electron moves through a region of space, its speed decreases from 8.50 x 10$^6$ m/s to 2.50 x 10$^6$ m/s. The electric force is the only force acting on the electron: (a) Did the electron move to a higher potential or a lower potential? (b) Across what potential difference did the electron travel? Draw a picture of the system with the field.
