Question
Chapter 38, Problem 1P
To determine
The form of energy appeared during the collision.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The drift velocity of the charged particles is induced due to the action of electric field in the metal. The direction of current is opposite to the movement of electrons. This drift velocity is lost due to the collisions between particles.
The average energy of the electrons lost in the collision with the other particles present in the metal and appears in the form of thermal energy throughout the metal. In the collisions, the thermal energy is transferred from place to place without any transfer of matter. This thermal energy is equal to the amount of heat flowed in the material.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the form of energy appeared during the collision is thermal energy.
