When conduction electrons pass through a device with resistance, which describes their energy?


a) their potential energy increases.

b) their kinetic energy increases

c) their potential energy decreases

d) their kinetic energy decreases

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) their potential energy increases.

Explanation:

Ohm's Law is

R= V/I

Where R= Resistance

V= potential difference or potential energy

I= current or conduction electron flow rate

Clearly R and V are directly proportional i-e Potential energy increases with resistance.
