No you are wrong point b has more electric field intensity than point a so the force acting on electron is more in case of b than a i think you have a doubt why more electric field intensity it means the amount of work done to bring the charge from any point to b it opposes more electric field strength to bring the electron so more work has to be done i.e more potential so point b has more electric field intensity.

Lower electric potential means there are (more) electrons or negative charges and Higher potential means there are more holes or positive charges present there. So electron will move towards higher potential.
According to the question, point A is at a lower electrical potential than point B. An electron between them on the line joining them will move towards B.

At point A potential will be low means electrons would be in excess n +ve charge would be in deficit. And opposite will be the case at B where electrons are less n +ve charge is much. So just like a general case electron will obviously be attracted towards more +ve charge.

The answer given i.e., the electron will move towards B is correct. Some of you are confused because you might be thinking that whenever you solve a circuit then in that case the electrons moved from higher 2 lower potential but this is the conventional method.

A has lower potential (we can denote it by -)
B has high potential (+)
Electron (-)will move towards B (+).
As electrons flow from low to the high potential region (or in easy terms the opposite + attracts - ).
So, Answer is B.
B has high potential (+)
Electron (-)will move towards B (+).
As electrons flow from low to the high potential region (or in easy terms the opposite + attracts - ).
So, Answer is B.

The point A have a lower potential than B so electric field of A is lower than B so we assume that point A have negative charge and point B a positive charge and we know that electron go from A to B.

Current has a tendency to travel from high potetial region to low potential. Its direction is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons. Hence the electrons flow from low to potential region.

Conventionally, direction of current is from high potential to low potential which is called conventional current and electronic current is always opposite to conventional current.

Electron will move towards the high potential i.e. B point because if there is any potential difference the elecric line of forces terminate from higher to lower potential.
