Conceptual Question 22.9 Part A Which direction-clockwise or counterclockwise-does an electron travel through the wire and through the battery in (Figure 1)? o The electrons travel counterclockwise through the wire and from the negative terminal to the positive terminal through the O The electrons travel clockwise through the wire and from the positive terminal to the negative terminal through the battery. The electrons travel clockwise through the wire and from the negative terminal to the positive terminal trough the battery. O The electrons travel counterclockwse through the wire and from the positive terminal to the negative terminal through the battery battery Submit My Answers Give Up Incorrect; One attempt remaining; Try Again Figure 1 of 1 Part B Does an electron's electric potential energy increase, decrease, or stay the same as it moves through the wire? If it doesn't stay the same, where does the energy go or come from? The electron's potential energy increases as it moves through the wire. The increase comes at the expense of thermal energy of the wire. The electron's potential energy decreases as it moves through the wire. They transfer their potential energy into thermal energy of the wire The electron's potential energy increases as it moves through the wire. The increase comes at the expense of chemical energy. The electron's potential energy stays the same as it moves through the battery. The electron's potential energy decreases as it moves through the wire. They transfer their potential energy into chemical 0 0 energy Submit My Answers Give Up

Explanation / Answer

(A) In circuit(wire), Current flows clockwise. And direction of current is taken as the direction of flow of positive charge.

so electron flows in the opposite direction of current that is counetrclockwise direction.

In battery, electron travel from positive terminal to negative terminal to maintain the flow of current in circuit(wire)

Ans(Last Option)

: Electron travel counterclockwise through wire and positive to the negative terminal throught battery.

(B) The electron's PE decreases as it moves through the wire. They transfer their potential energy into thermal energy/

(C) The electron's PE increase as it moves through battery. The increase comes at the expense of chemical energy.
