Explanation:

An proton may be defined as a sub atomic particle and it has a positive electrical charge. Its mass is slightly less than that of a neutron. When a proton is placed in an electrical field that is uniformly charged, it is at rest. When the proton first moves out from rest from the uniform electric field, it will move in a direction which is same as that of the electric field and it will move to a region of higher potential.

An electron is defined as the subatomic particle having negative electric charge. When an electron is released form rest from an uniform electric field, it will move in the opposite direction of the uniform electric field and will move to the region of lower electric potential.
