Ohm's Law: The figure shows electrons passing through a resistor. The arrow shows the direction in which the electrons are moving. Which of the following statements are correct? (There could be more than one correct choice.)
A. The electrons are moving slower at point b than at point a.
B. The electric potential is higher at point b than at point a.
C. The electric potential is lower at point b than at point a.
D. The electrons are losing electric potential energy as they move through the resistor from a to b.
E. The speed of the electrons at point b is the same as it is at point a.
Answer: E
