A schematic diagram showing four horizontal parallel electric field lines directed from left to right, labeled with a bold vector E pointing to the right. Two small spheres are shown: a positive charge labeled +q located near the top and a negative charge labeled -q located below it. For both charges, a straight arrow pointing to the right represents a displacement d in the direction of the field lines. No other lines, labels, or vectors appear.
Two charges displaced along electric field lines.
A positive test charge \(+q\) and a negative test charge \(-q\) are each displaced by a distance \(d\) in the direction of a uniform electric field \(\vec{E}\). Which of the following correctly describes the change in electric potential energy of the system for each charge during this displacement?
