Electron's Journey: Work and Thermal Energy Transfer
Chapter , Problem 42(choose chapter or problem)
In Fig. 26-33, a battery of potential difference V=12 V is connected to a resistive strip of resistance \(R=6.0\ \Omega\). When an electron moves through the strip from one end to the other, (a) in which direction in the figure does the electron move, (b) how much work is done on the electron by the electric field in the strip, and (c) how much energy is transferred to the thermal energy of the strip by the electron?

QUESTION:
In Fig. 26-33, a battery of potential difference V=12 V is connected to a resistive strip of resistance \(R=6.0\ \Omega\). When an electron moves through the strip from one end to the other, (a) in which direction in the figure does the electron move, (b) how much work is done on the electron by the electric field in the strip, and (c) how much energy is transferred to the thermal energy of the strip by the electron?
Step 1 of 3
Given data:
Potential difference of the battery: \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{b}}=12 \mathrm{~V}\)
Resistance of the strip:\(\mathrm{R}=6 \Omega\)
(a) Since current moves from positive to negative, clockwise in this figure, the electron moves in a counterclockwise direction.
