Energy gained by charges in a uniform electric field

Question: Electric Field on an Angle
A uniform electric field exists throughout a region of space that contains all five points (A through E) shown. Points A through D are on a single left-right line. E is on a line at an angle theta from the line along which points A through D lie and is directly above point B. The distance between A and B is equal to the distance between B and C and is one-half the distance between A ant D.Suppose a negative charge (Q1) begins at rest in this field at point A and is allowed to move freely (free from all forces except the Coulomb force) to point B and gains an amount of kinetic energy ΔK. A second negative charge (Q2) also begins at rest at point A and is allowed to move freely to point C and gains an amount of kinetic energy ΔK. Finally, a positive charge (Q3) begins at rest at point A and is allowed to move freely to point D and gains an amount of kinetic energy 4ΔK.Which statements below are TRUE? More than one may be correct.Group of answer choicesThe magnitude of th...
