Consider an electrical conductor connected across a potential difference V. Let 
be a small charge moving through it in time 
. If I is the electric current through it,
(i) the kinetic energy of the charge increases by 
.
(ii) the electric potential energy of the charge decreases by 
.
(iii) the thermal energy of the conductor increases by 
.
Then the correct statement/s is/are
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Decrease in electric potential energy, 
Increase in thermal energy, 
Here some energy is lost in thermal energy.
