a. Which direction—clockwise or counterclockwise—does an electron travel
through the wire shown?
Explain.
b. Does an electron’s electric potential energy increase, decrease, or stay the same as it moves through the wire?
Explain.
c. If you answered “decrease” in part b, where does the energy go? If you answered “increase” in part b, where does the energy come from?
d. Which way—up or down—does an electron move through
the battery? Explain.
e. Does an electron’s electric potential energy increase, decrease, or stay the same as it moves through the battery?
Explain.
f. If you answered “decrease” in part e, where does the energy go? If you answered “increase” in part e, where does the energy come from?
