The Figure Shows Electrons Passing Through a Resistor

question 81

Multiple Choice

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.

Fissure Eruptions

Fissure eruptions are volcanic eruptions that occur through long, linear cracks in the Earth's surface, releasing lava and gases over a wide area.

Pyroclastic Eruptions

Volcanic eruptions characterized by the expulsion of hot gases, ash, and volcanic rocks at high speeds.

Seafloor
