To Explain: What is being dispersed when charge flows through a resistor.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Charges flow in an electric circuit because of the potential energy supplied to them.
When charge flows through a resistor, the molecules and atoms of the resistor collide with the charged particles which decrease their potential energy. This potential energy is converted into heat energy in the resistor.
Conclusion:
Potential energy is dispersed when charge flows through a resistor.
