When an object with a negative charge is moved from point A to point B through an external electrical field, it gains electrical potential energy. When an object with positive charge is moved from point A to point B though the same field, it loses electrical potential energy. Which of the following statements is true? Select all that apply.
A:Because the positive and negative charges cancel out, the potential difference between A and B is zero (that is, VB = VA).
B:The positively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).
C:The negatively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).
D: The negatively charged object moves through a positive potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA > 0).
E:The positively charged object moves through a positive potential difference from A and B (that is, VB - VA > 0).
-An explanation would be appreciated, thank you!

to 
and as 
so both of them move through a negative potential difference.

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. when you push the platform, you compress the springs. you do an amount of work of 79.0 j when you compress the springs a distance of 0.230 m from their uncompressed length. (a) what magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? (b)how much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther? (c) what maximum force must you apply to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther?

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
