Problem 10DQ
Electrons in an electric circuit pass through a resistor. The wire on either side of the resistor has the same diameter. (a) How does the drift speed of the electrons before entering the resistor compare to the speed after leaving the resistor? Explain your reasoning. (b) How does the potential energy for an electron before entering the resistor compare to the potential energy after leaving the resistor? Explain your reasoning.

(b) How does the potential energy for an electron before entering the resistor compare to the potential energy after leaving the resistor? Explain your reasoning.
ANSWER:
Solution 10DQ
Step 1:
Introduction
In this question, we need to compare the speed of the electrons before entering the resistor and after leaving resistor and we also to explain the reason for the change in the speed of the electrons
In the second part, we need to compare the potential energy of the electron before and after entering the resistor and we need to explain the reasons for the change in the potential energy
