Electron will move towards point B because due to higher potential the sign on point B should be + and it will attract the electron toward itself.

The electrons move from higher to lower electric potential so if an electron is added it moves towards B.

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.

Current flow is always opposite to electron flow. The Current direction is from high potential to low potential. And electron flow is from low potential to high potential.

As the electrons will flow from(-) low potential region to high potential region so it will A(-)will move towards B(+). Thus option B is correct.

Point a is in the state of rest but point b is in the state of motion.

Electrons will always travel from a higher potential to a lower potential because the driving force V is Higher at the Higher potential. The Current will flow in the opposite direction.

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.

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.

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.
