# A particle carrying charge \(-q\), where \(q > 0\), is displaced a distance \(d\) in the direction opposite to a uniform electric field of magnitude \(E\). Which of the following correctly identifies the sign of the work \(W_{\text{field}}\)

A particle carrying charge \(-q\), where \(q > 0\), is displaced a distance \(d\) in the direction opposite to a uniform electric field of magnitude \(E\). Which of the following correctly identifies the sign of the work \(W_{\text{field}}\)

![A two-dimensional diagram showing a uniform electric field and a moving charged particle. Four horizontal, parallel, evenly spaced arrows point to the right across the diagram, labeled \vec{E} above the top arrow. A small solid circle representing a particle is labeled -q. Below the particle, a horizontal arrow pointing to the left indicates displacement, labeled \vec{d}. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.](https://nerd-notes.com/wp-content/uploads/ubq-frq-generated/stem-fig-1-1785830689-8ny9xi.jpg)

- **A.** \(W_{\text{field}}\)
- **B.** \(W_{\text{field}}\)
- **C.** \(W_{\text{field}}\)
- **D.** \(W_{\text{field}}\)
