Five horizontal parallel lines with arrows pointing to the right, uniformly spaced, represent a uniform electric field labeled E. Point X is marked on one of the central field lines. Point Y is marked on the same field line to the right of point X. A small circle containing a minus sign, representing a negative point charge -q, is drawn at point X with a horizontal dashed arrow pointing rightward toward point Y. No other labels or lines appear.
A negative charge moved in a uniform electric field.
A negative point charge \(-q\) is moved at a constant speed from point \(X\) to point \(Y\) in a region containing a uniform electric field \(\vec{E}\) directed to the right, as shown in the diagram. Point \(Y\) is located a distance \(d\) directly to the right of point \(X\). Which of the following correctly describes the change in the electric potential energy of the charge-field system and provides the correct justification?
